If I understand you correctly the beeps from your backup sensor warning system interfere with the normal beeps the Prius makes when you shift into reverse. If so there is a method of eliminating the standard beeps so you are not distracted by them.
I found the instructions here on PriusChat by using the search function but cannot remember exactly what phrases I used to retrieve them right now. They worked for the '05 but haven't tried on the '08.
I'll post again if I have any luck.

Edit: found it .... just enter "reverse beeps" in search

Thanks for the tip but unfortunately, my Prius is the euro-version and that nifty little trick doesn't work on mine.
OTOH, the same function but forward is so loud one can easily hear it outside the car. I wish I could balance them out.

My brother-in-law has been posted to Dubai and he's been telling me that Priuses in the Middle East have sonar but no back bumper camera. Has anybody had any experience w/ both, and if you have, how do they compare in their usefulness? Just curious.

Sonar is useful for finding submarines; there aren't many submarines in Dubai. I'd go with the camera, myself.
