    Hi all
    I just bought a 2008 Prius with 52000km on it. It runs well and if i drive it like a grandpa i can get 60 mpg out of it. I believe thats ok. The hybrid battery is the original so i expect an extra expense at some point.

    Is there really no way to make the reverse beep Sound go away on this EU model ?

    Thanks
    I have read about Techstream and seen some videos. I looked on eBay but there are several types and different prices.
    What would you recommend?

    Correct, there is no way to turn off the reverse beep, or even make it a single beep (as you can on the NA version), not even with Techstream. Sorry.

    Personally, I can just tune it out. Once, I even nearly reversed into a car at some traffic lights, so great is my ability. LOL.
