Disabling reverse beep/seatbelt beep on an 06'

[Tideland Prius]

I still can't disable the driver's seatbelt beep and enable the passenger seatbelt beep

[Paradox]

Thanks for the replies everyone. I'm going to give it a go later on again and see if I can get it to work...

Just as a safety reminder.....

The reason the beep exists "inside" the cabin is to let you know that you are, in fact, in reverse gear.  This may be odd at first blush but if you accidently hit the rear gear you would normally have no idea you would be in rear gear.  Say a piece of clothing got ahold of the shifter and you didn't notice.  The beeping would alert you to it.  I personally have made the decision to leave the beeping on for that very reason.  Your mileage may vary.

i think your concerns illustrate a highly unlikely scenario. to shift to a moving gear when not moving, your foot must be on the brake, otherwise it simply goes to neutral. accidently shifting to reverse is very unlikely

Is there a way to make the rear beeps stop after 4-5 beeps as well? I don't mind the 'reminder' for just a moment, but I feel like an idiot in this tiny car backing out of a space with that loud beep going. I don't care too much about the seatbelt, since I wear one anyway, but it does grate on me that Toyota doesn't have this on a quick 'turn it on or off' settings panel.

that would be a cool option...i have not heard of that to be honest with ya. i guess if the beep wasnt so loud (frequency is also very irritating to me) i might consider living with it.

the seatbelts still do a single beep. would be nice if backup was a three beeper or something

Mine's the reverse. I wanted to reverse so I popped the shifter in reverse. I must've moved it too fast and it didn't register. When I let go of the brake pedal, the car moved forward. I almost hit some people walking in front of my car!

The best way to disable the seatbelt beeps on an '06 is to use'em. Get in fasten up and walla "No Beeps"! Safer too I hear.

I would never argue against using seat belts. I always use them. But I also don't need a reminder to do so.

The point here is that I really don't need the car to beep at me as I'm reaching for the belt and pulling it across my chest to buckle it. This is annoying and unnecesary. And even 5 beeps is too much. You should be able to turn this off.

My salesman told me about turning off the reverse beep when I picked up my '06! <_<
It's not clear why they enabled the option if it voids the warranty.
