Dude hacks his car to play the song 'Africa' when he opens his door
Watch Next

If you were forced to hear something every time you opened your car door, you could do worse than Toto's "Africa" -- a pleasant tune that would surely leave you in a good mood for your ride.

Self-described Volvo enthusiast Chris Ng wanted to customize the door chimes on his old Volvo 240. Now, every time he opens his car door and his keys are still in the ignition, an 8-bit version of Toto's "Africa" plays instead of those annoying bells.

On his Kickstarter page, Ng notes that it took him two days to put the pieces together. He hopes to create a prototype which can be easily installed on other vehicles, so you too can hear some sweet jams instead of an aggravating chime when you open your car door.
