That annoying backup signal!

sunshine62704 · 07-23-2008, 12:42 AM

Does anyone know how to stop the annoying signal that goes off when backing up? I haven't even got my Prii yet but want to take care of that first thing. Help!!

yes, it's quite simple.

first, go to the top of this screen. then, click "search." type in "disable beep" and I think you'll be pleasantly surprised!

Annoying, but until I get totally used to the little shift thingy, I like the confirmation.

wait, wait, wait... the MFD has a SEARCH function?! AND you can type stuff into it and it will take care of the rest?

See if this will work. It's part one of installing a back up buzzer.

It should be OUTSIDE!

I think it should quack like a duck.

It's only annoying until you realize it helped you prevent an accident.

That is why it is there.

If you wish to neutralize a safety feature, don't blame the car if you slam into an object, car, person, etc. because the car went the opposite direction you were expecting.

An accident is only a careless flick of the wrist away.

Thank you all for the suggestions. I will try them as soon as the little beauty gets here! Wish me luck!
