    The ding-ding is mounted on the inside of the panel under your steering wheel. The box you're talking about is the "integrated control unit" that controls a bunch of engine functions & lights. Move it, but don't remove it.

    It does the dinging and controls your turn signals up front.

    People, don't get old! That's the headlight chime under the wheel. My bad! It does turn signals, oil pressure warning, seat belt & key warning, ignition key light, controls light chimes, side markers.
