Reverse Beep

[AidaN]

The past few days i was washing cars at Prosche Melbourne, which was kind of cool as far as washing cars go. BUT....when driving some of the newer manuals with reverse on the top left, instead of the annoying reverse beep which we have, they have one short sharp beep and thats all. It is a much better option that what is in the sportivo. If only toyota had thought of this. Im sure that beep drives everybody insane

Apollogies if this has already been covered!!

when i bought my new car and order the sensors i asked about the 2 beeps issue. the dealer said there's nothing they can do and the best I have to do is to get used to it!!

A philips-head screw driver and 5 minutes will remove the reverse beep

How is that done?

If you remove the bottom shielding from the steering column, there is a plug (white I think) that plugs in behind the ignition....

Northy may be able to explain it better cause he's done it more times than I have.

You can also remove the wire from behind the instrument cluster.

all you need is a philips head screw driver and remove the insrument cluster then on the main loom you will see a red/black wire on the bottom row of pins 3 in from the right. Simply remove that wire from the loom and presto....no BEEP...BEEP

I've heard disabling the beeper also disables the reversing lights as they apparently are powered on the same circuit. Is this true?

If not true and the above mod works, are we able to get specific instructions and a pic of the under side of the column?

Thanks.

The clip you are talking about that removes the lights to is the white clip in the engine bay that plugs into the gearbox....

Ok, so are we able to get a pic of the mod that works?
