The annoying "backing up" beep....

I have followed the directions ten times...and I still cannot get that darn reverse beep to disable...it is driving me nuts!

I did it! I thank you, my passengers thank you, everyone thanks you.
Though, it took 3 times. I was sitting in the drivers seat, closed door, open windows (hot). The part that I was doing wrong was step #5. It says to press WITHIN 6 seconds..."Within" being the magic word, I took too long to do that.
....and reading further on, for those who still can't do it...this is important...."This sequence will not turn the beeping off for the European version of the Prius".

My friend has a 2004 Prius, not European, and we are having trouble getting this procedure to work. Anyone know if it works on the '04? I know it is the new style.

Thanks,

Don

I too am still having problem on my 07 package 6 Touring. I foolowed the directions and advice here and simply have given up. I no longer use reverse.

A year ago when I bought my PRI the 1st thing I did was turn off the beeper using the methods mentioned in the above posts. Then I bought a small little round beeper from Radio Shop. I accessed the right rear back up light from inside the trunk and connected the little beeper to it. Now I have a much quieter beep-beep coming from the rear of the car. You can control the volume by insulating the beeper until you get the desired volume......

While my friend has an '04, I have an '07, and I was able to get it to work after about 3 tries. I even got the passenger seatbelt warning to silence as well -- now I can carry my laptop with having to belt it in!

Keep trying.

I finally got it...now to disable the seat belt beep.

Thank God for the search feature.

I actually disabled my reverse beep through a faulty search. Haha, I was looking for a how-to on installing a sub, and ended up disabling the beep instead.

I'm happy with it being off.

If the beeping really bothers you, maybe the radio isn't loud enough. Seriously, I was backing my car into the garage, and jumped out to open the garage door, and forgot to put it in park. As I momentarily started to get out, the beeping, which I normally filter out caught my attention, and I grabbed Park. Sometimes the beeper is your friend. For most people, it sounds like not.

I was just going to say -- am I the only person here who is not annoyed by the beep?

No, you are not.
