    ELIMINATE REVERSE BEEPS.

    1. Power on the car to IG-ON or Ready.

    2. using the Trip/ODO button, set the trip/ODO display to ODO (Not trip A or B)

    3. Power off the car.

    4. Now power the car to READY (Brake on). This is required so that step 6 works correctly.

    5. Within 6 seconds of powering on, press and hold the Trip/ODO button for 10 seconds or more.

    6 While still holding the ODO button *after* the 10 seconds, shift the "gear" selector from P to R then back to P. Now release the ODO button.

    7. If the last step was successful, "b on" or "b off" should be displayed in the location where the Trip odometer or Odometer is normally displayed ("b on" is beep on) ("b off" is beep off).

    8. Press Trip/ODO button to toggle the mode.

    9. Now power the car off to exit the toggle mode.

    10. Power the car on to READY and confirm the reverse beep status by shifting to R. The beep should not be audible if "b off" was selected.

    Yes, SG II can turn off (or rather make it a single
    beep) the reverse beeping on a 2010. I have not tried
    it on a 2011.

    Cheers,
    Bill

    Heres a silly question. Will the beep come back if you take off he scanguage and return to your friend?

    No, but it will come back when the 12 battery dies.
