E46 - Dash Beeping when on key position 1

[Gunner 0]

hey everyone, a friend of mine just got a 02 e46 318i. When he turns the key to position 1 to listen to the radio when stopped the dash continously beeps until the car is turned off and the key is taken out. What could be causing this problem?

Cheers

Not sure if this is programable to turn off. Some JAP and US spec has key reminder to tell you the keys are still in ignition when driver door is open but engine is off.
