Back up signal

beaberus · 12-03-2007, 08:28 AM

When will the back up signal be heard outside the car ?

When your doors are open and there is no other sound in the area.

Seriously, it isn't. The sound is solely for your own personal enjoyment.

Which is why many of us have turned it off.

thanks so much! I've been wanting to get rid of that "beep" for sometime now!! Followed the directions, and they worked. Now I can hve peace and quiet when I'm backing up without that incessant beeping.

Thanks again,
Ed

I found one important step was missing, the first:
(Disabling Reverse Beep)
Press and hold the brake pedal.
Power on the car, Cycle ODO/TRIP, stopping on ODO, Power off the car.
Power on, within 6 seconds, hold ODO for at least 10 seconds.
While still holding ODO shift into Reverse and back into Park.
"b-on" shows on odometer display, press ODO to cycle to "b-off". Done.

Mine already is.

Look at installing a back-up beeper in the rear tail light.

Which company makes a beeper that works with the Prius backup lights?
Thanks,
Mario
