Back-up beeper

coulterj · 11-26-2006, 08:43 PM

I'm sure this has been dealt with but I'm a newbie and don't quite know how to access all the information available here. I have a 2006 Pruis and the back-up beeping noise is driving me crazy. I hear rumor that it can be disconnected - please DO TELL and save my sanity! Thanks. Jan

Welcome to Priuschat - there is a world of information on the site. The search mode will bring you lots of good info.
The beeper question has been answered before, but Evnut has a link to his site that provides the details, but hopefully I have the correct link here to them.
Reverse beeper disable

Good luck and enjoy your Prius.

HELP!! I have tried this process (as described in your link above) over and over... no results... I have a 2007... Did Toyota change things for the 2007 so that disabling th ereverse beep is not possible or different?? Any help would be soooo appreciated!! Thanks!

Io, it's correct. I did it on my '07 and got it on the 2nd try. the sequence can be confusing. Don't give up!

Where it says to hold the button for 10 seconds, hold it for 20. Stupid and boring to just hold the button in, but it needs that time to get to the correct mode. Hold the Trip/ODO button in for 20 seconds and then, after doing nothing but holding the button in, follow the rest of the procedure.

And welcome to PriusChat, coulterj and coyoteblonde! Lots of good information here. The Search link at the top of every page is your friend.

Man, it's been so long since this topic has come up, I had even forgotten that the backup beep exists. I think that was the first "mod" I did to my car, and it works so well I hadn't even noticed in months!1

Welcome to PriusChat and enjoy your new Prius!!!

Hey there,

we just got rid of the back-up beep yesterday.
We found the answer in this web site but I can give it to you :

1 - press POWER switch and check that ODO is reading ODO ( not trip A or trip

2 - turn off power
3 - press POWER switch. KEEP your foot on the brake pedal....
4 - within 5 seconds, press and hold the ODO switch for 10 seconds or more
5 - while still holding ODO, shift from park to REVERSE and release.
6 - ODO display SHOULD READ "B on"
7 - press ODO switch once and it SHOULD READ "B off"
8 - turn off power.

Honestly, it took us 10 times to achieve it. Keep trying. Good luck. and
PS : like you, we love our PRIUS but this stupid beep was driving us mad.

Back-up beeper turned off!

It only took 60 seconds, worked first try. Someone read the instructions while I pushed the buttons. Did a practice run through before, made it easy, no questions while actually doing it.

took me 2 goes by myself. the first time I didnt cycle through from ODO through trip's back to odo.

On step 5 you left out that you need to put it into park after reverse. So it should be "while holding ODO, shift form park to REVERSE then back to PARK."
That is what I had to do to trigger the b-on.
Thanks for the info!!!!
