    Hi All,

    My car does not beep when locking/unlocking with the remote. The hazzard light blinks indicating that it is locked. Checked the Autel scanner and it shows that the buzzer is enabled. Where is the Wireless door lock buzzer located? Is that behind the glove box or in the wheel well (saw a posting in Gen 3 about this - Door Lock/Unlock beep doesn't sound (and isn't disabled in settings) | PriusChat). Gen 2 have it a different location ? From a pdf file i have, it shows that behind the glove box. Did any one replaced this?

    No I think most people would be ecstatic that it stopped. That must be under the dash pads and behind the glove box so like behind the piece of plastic in the glove box where the SRS yellow plug is so you might have to take the dash top off to get to that buzzer which I've had the dash top off a few times had I known the buzzer was there I would have cut it while I had it off I thought there was another one also under the driver side front fender somewhere above the coolant heat storage tank but I'm not positive when I did replace my CM monitor display I remove the speaker and beeper off the back of it and that generation too is pretty much dead silent all the time.

    i got used to all the other cars making sound when locking. This one i have to look back for the lights to blink. Does it sound like a whistle in the Avalon models or a real honk like the Honda? I never heard it in a Prius before.

    So to fix it, i have to remove the top dash and check it?

    I have an '05 with the whole dash out of the car I need to go look and see if what you're talking about is there I thought what you're talking about would be external and I thought it was on the driver side up above the coolant heat storage tank It's a little speaker looking thing hold on a minute I'll find one and take a picture of it I didn't think it was inside of the car because then you wouldn't hear it very well on the outside of the car I don't think it's the horn that honks the little thing that beeps that lets you know you've pushed the button on the remote for the doors go off see I don't do that I push the door lock button while I'm getting out of the car The remotes in my pocket and has been all day it's an SKS system so the remote never has to come out of my pocket when I walk up to the car and extend my hand the door unlocks there's no need to ever touch the remote here and you beat see any lights flash I'm not losing the car in parking lots yet

    So I just went out and looked at the 05 parts car on the right side of the car behind the glove box and the computers right up against the sheet metal underneath the little window there is a black box it looks like a receiver for the door unlocking SKS remote sensing something but it's not a speaker I doubt this thing buzzes or beeps or anything else so it looks like over on the right of the car behind the glove box other than a sensing box I don't think there's any noise makers beepers piazo electric tweeters whatever. It should be the same through 09 so no I wouldn't remove the dash top to do anything back there at this point If anything it would be the little silly piezo looking tweeter like assembly under the left front fender It clips into a piece of plastic when you flip it over it looks like a little super tweeter I usually take them off my car and throw them in a bucket I'm not interested in the noise or telling everybody where my car is

    They probably find a real sneaky place to hide it given all us folk who will destroy them if we seem them!

    The 'buzzer' that makes beeps when the hazard light flashes is the same as the one that sounds the buzzer for 10 seconds
    if the door is not completely closed and the transmitter LOCK switch is pressed. Does that one work?

    As far as I'm aware the 'buzzer' is located behind the wheel liner up in the wheel well above the CHRS tank. There again I could be misremembering and it could be in the RH fender well.
