    Well known software procedure of switching off reverse buzzer (beeper) is not working for European Prius. Thanks, Toyota. [Broken External Image]:http://www.smailiki.nm.ru/przd/przd14.gif It's official, final, no appeal possible.

    I installed parking assist which is beeping with incresing frequency as the car closing to the obstacle and I do not need this double beeping.

    Anybody knows which wire to cut to stop this annoyance? [Broken External Image]:http://www.smailiki.nm.ru/ammo/unr3.gif

    Seriously

    what type of parking assist did you get and where did you get it? I am thinking of getting it also.

    Which beeper do you want to stop, the car reverse beeper or the new one you put on?

    It doesn't make sense for Toyota to make things different between US and European cars if they don't have to. Just a thought, since the procedure to silence the backup beeps involves the trip odometer, have you tried switching from KPH to MPH first?

    Just a guess.

    Its the one labeled "Brakes." Those wacky Toyota engineers, always trying to throw people off with mislabeling.

    Re: How to kill Reverse buzzer

    Thanks Ben.
    However, the whole point is that this standard procedure doesn't work with European Prius (Vassa guy imported Prius from US, I think).

    Therefore, there is only one way left - to cut the appropriate wire.

    Unfortunately, guys who are pretending to be knowlegeable (Pope John Prius, for example) demonstratively ignoring my request for help.
