Sigh.

Guess I'll have to try another service dept.

I would contact your sales manager and inform him of your request and the response you received. If he/she does not fall all over you to please you regarding that change, I would then write a nice letter to the owner of the dealership explaining why it is you will not be doing business with them in the future.

Well, this dealership isn't the place that I bought my car from, so I'm not as inclined to be pushy. This dealership is less than 10 minutes away...the next closest Toyota facility would be over 30 minutes away, so I don't want to make any waves. I don't want to have to drive over 30 minutes away for an oil change or maintenance.

I decided to be proactive and find out my dealers policy on customization options before my car arrives. I took copies of the appropriate pages, indicating the changes I want, to the salesman this morning. He said "no problem we'll take care of it as a predelivery item, no charge".

has anyone attempted to simply disconnect the actual device that makes the beeping sound?

Same here, printed out the entire list of settings, highlited what I wanted set that was not the default and handed it to the sales rep. Mind you this is the third car I have purchased through him in 8 years so he might want my business.

Unfortunately the downside is he messed up the colour on the order form and still waiting. Car originally due yesterday but looks like next week at this stage.

The beeping does not bug me much, either because my hearing is shot or it drowns out my wife

LOL! That beeping DOES drown out pretty much everything. I wonder if Toyota will ever put the beeping as a "marriage enhancement feature"...

If you get a sec, aussiedave, can you list off all the customizable options on that list?

I down loaded the owners manual from another post. It is in a section near the end titled customizations.

It is a PDF and the PDF reader they supply here at work does not allow selecting and copying.

We just came home today with our 2010 Prius and I had the dealer disable the backup beep. They use a lap top connected under the dash and now there is only a single beep when reverse is selected. We live in PA.
