We removed it almost two years ago, just after the car arrived, because leaving it in place allowed a horrid noisy buzzer to soundwhenever the door was open. Removing it did away with the buzz and deprived us only of minor luxuries like the remote fuel filler release and some interior lighting, so out it stayed. But no longer.
