    Anyone know why this might be, and how I can get the volume back? I can hardly hear it at the moment.
    The normal reverse beeping is still as loud as ever.

    I know what reverse beeping is but what’s parking assist beeping?

    Thanks for your response Ed.
    I’ve got rear parking sensors and they beep when you’re reversing and get close to something behind you.
    I’ve not had the car long and they’ve been working fine (and loud) until lately and they’re now almost inaudible, especially with the loud reverse beeping too!
    I think they have their own speaker and it may be a bad connection there, but I don’t know where it’s located. Any idea?

    I’m wondering if this is not a feature on a newer Prius and the OP placed it in the wrong place.

    Must be aftermarket park assist the 2004-2009 G2 does not have that feature. The G3 does though.

    Could it be an option that was offered in Europe but not here? I happened to be checking something at Kelley Blue Book today and parking assist was listed as one of the options available on the 2008 Prius I was looking up.

    Oh I see it’s in the UK so it’s a T Spirit ?

    Thanks for the responses guys.
    Yes it's a T Spirit and it seems that the reverse sensors were fitted by the Toyota dealer as an accessory at the time of purchase.
    However, I'm still no closer to diagnosing why I can hardly hear the beeping!
