Please confirm that it still works on an '06!

I kinda think the beeping in reverse is a nice feature. Sometimes I forget that I'm driving in reverse and, in previous vehicles, have bump into things I shouldn't have. The reverse beeping on my Prius helps prevent that from happening. Just today, I was out for a drive in Ruby (my Prius) and and the beeping helped stop me from plowing over my neighbor's mailbox.

It works fine. Just follow the instructions. I was also able to disable the seatbelt beeper with the same procedure, just replace the shifting with inserting and removing the seatbelt.

After reading this thread, I was able to disable the reverse beeper on my new '06 Prius today. Thanks!

I had asked the dealer to disable it before I drove away last week, but their best mechanic couldn't figure out how to do it. They told me to make an appointment and leave the car one day so they could work on it. I called the salesman as soon as I made the fix, and he asked for a copy of the procedure.

I think this procedure is in the owner's manual !!

consider this.....

Your at a stop light. Your kids are playing around. One of them hits the gear shift knob. It goes into reverse. But you have disabled the beeping sound. You don't know about the change. The lights change to green. You step on the gas and bam, you hit the car in back of ya. Oh well.
