Disabled reverse beep today ==> Serenity Now

TOTALLY annoying beeping inside the car. My husband and I didn't remember the beeping when we test drove another PiP from the lot, so it must have been modified to "single beep" mode. Now, that is on my (hopefully) short list of things to have the dealer take care of for us when we go back.

When I bought my Advanced last week I insisted as part of the sale that they disable the backup beep. The sales manager decided to try to be a Big Man and make me pay $45 for it ... and I decided to berate him for trying to nickel-and-dime me for one tenth of one percent of the sale price. So they agreed to do it No Charge. (I *will* take points off on the Toyota Survey if I receive one ... it was truly classless of him to even bring it up.)

But nobody was in who knew how to do it that evening, so today I had to take the car back in and have them do it. I dropped it off and came back a few hours later.

A minor hassle, but at least it's done.

To me this is a big distraction when driving in reverse. When Toyota gets lawsuits claiming the infernal beeping caused an accident maybe they'll change the default to be the single beep.

Can you explain how you did it (or direct us to specific instructions on how to disable using the x-gauge)? Thanks-

I disabled it by my self a year ago.

BEEP BEEP BEE BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP Nurse!!!

'Found it... Scan Gauge II Question | PriusChat

My dealer wants $70 to change the backup beep to one beep.

I think I would consider getting a scan gauge to do that myself.

I already have an OBD connector that connects to a laptop but it does not support CAN protocol unfortunately.

That's a lot of money to do something that takes 2 minutes. Mine had quoted me $45 when I went in for my 5k service, but luckily I threw the owners name out there and told them that I had brought in several customers. So, it was quickly reduced to $0. I think they may have charged it off to sales. I don't really care, as long as they didn't charge it off to me!!!

Besides, I had educated my sales guy by sending him info and video links to help him educate his prospective customers, which could only lead to increased sales.

I got my new Scan Gauge II last night and disabled the backup beep myself. Once you figure out how to program the xgauge codes it only takes 2 minutes. (but the figuring it out the first time part took me more like 30 or 60 minutes)

If anyone in OC want to want to stop by my place I would be happy to turn off your backup beeper for free. I probably could have found a local dealer to do it for free (or at least a whole lot less expensive than the cost of a scan gauge) but I don't enjoy going to the dealer and I wanted to tinker with other Scan Gauge features.

I agree with James C Smith 100%. Although it didn't take quite an hour more like a half. But I disabled the seat belt alert also. (Yes I do wear my seat belt) I usually put it on as I start out, besides you still have the dash light to let you know ... anyway, love the scangaugeII , bit pricey but loads of information with it...
