Disabling the Reverse Beep

[Bica2go]

Gmalis,
Those directions don't work for a 2010. You have to go to a dealer and have them reset the beep.

Does this not work for 08's ? Any suggestions ?"
Can't find the trick? I have 07.

It doesn't work on the European Prius unfortunately.

I am 100% sure I am in ODO mode.
I am 100% sure I held the Trip mode button for at least 10 seconds within six seconds of powering up (I tried at least three times counting to 20).
I am 100% sure I continued to hold the Trip mode button, then shifted to R and then P, then released the Trip mode button.

NOTHING CHANGED whatsoever on my display. NO toggle to "b on" or "b off".

Any comments or suggestions or most wanted...HELP!

Or, is this something that cannot be accomplished in a 2010 Prius?

I did accomplish getting all four doors to open when I open the drivers side door, however. So, I'm not a complete dope.

What Bica2go said. It's only for the Gen 2.

*edit*
well the backup cam is working this morning, but the locks still aren't. Oh well. Thanks for your help.

Hmm... so you can't unlock using the remote?

No, the remote works fine, I was just trying to figure out how to get all of the doors unlocked with the smart key function.

you guys are the best, switched mine over as well. now i won't go crazy when backing up. why did anyone think this was a good idea? should be outside if anything

I tried all these steps several times with no luck.
I have a 2010 Prius with the Solar Panel.
When you power the car back on, do you keep your foot on the brake the whole time?
Also, I'm assuming the ODO button you hold down is the Trip button.
Thank you,
Jeffrey

Sorry at this time no one has found a way to do it themselves on the 2010s. It must be done by the dealer.

You have to have the dealer do it for a 2010.

If you touch the passenger side door or rear hatch relase, you'll unock all of the doors. On the other hand, you could try the method that works with the '10 Prius:
From outside the car, push and hold both the lock & unlock buttons on your key-fob until you hear a series of beeps. Generaly about 5 seconds, the series of beeps indicate the change has been make.

Relock the doors and touch the driver's door handle to see if anything changed.
I apologize, I don't recall for certain weather this will work for your car if it's not a '10 model.

I've seen tons of people wanting to disable the reverse beep, but frankly I wonder if that is such a great idea.

Several times I have had the shift lever in the "N" position meaning to put it into "P" (by pressing the button), but been distracted and not realizing the car was still in gear, almost rolled into a wall or a car parked in front of me. Having a car in reverse can be even worse because people might expect a car to roll forward, but rarely backward-- making a correct response to an accidental roll problematic.

For me I will put up with the reverse beep. It keeps my mind of the BACK of the car, and I always remember to shift to drive or park when done! It doesn't really bother me once I became accustomed to it.

Too bad it doesn't work for the '10.

We had an 05 we recently sold and are taking delivery of a 10 this afternoon.
