Disable The Reverse Beep?

[John1986]

Hi just wondered if theres a way to disable the beep that comes on when reversing as its slightly annoying

[sparkystav]

Why disconnect?

This has been asked a few times and the speakers behind the C pillar at the back so just cut the wires.

but why do it? how much are you in reverse?

An that one day when your at the lights and you put it in reverse instead of first by mistake and reverse into someone you'll regret it.

[KnightUnit]

[John1986]

[Y2Kanjar]

But you've got a display on the dash to tell you what gear your in!

Ahhhh yeah

Are people sure the beeper is in the c-pillar? As it sounds like the sound is coming from the front in my car.

I want to disable it as I have a reverse parking sensor kit fitted and that beeps too.

[Y2Kanjar]

ok whos got the blue prints????

[VVProtocolVV]

Yep, as mentioned above...wish reverse wasn't next to first gear, or at least make it so u have to lifed/press gear stick to get to it instead. I too have had a few times where you think ur in first but you are instead in reverse and you try putting it into first and end up putting it into reverse again...makes me angry! lol

[loggyboy]

id like to make it so it just beeps 1 or 2 times, its the persistant beeps that annoy more.

[John1986]

i agree, just a sharp beep when engaging reverse would have done. instead u feel liek ur reversing a lorry

I have the factory fitted parking sensor on mine but the beeper for reverse is louder than the beeper for distance.

my temp gauge and mpg gauge are the other way round in my car, ???????????

The gate in mine to get it into reverse is so pronounced and stiff, there's no way I can get confused with first or reverse, 1st is effortless to select,, reverse is not and takes some effort to select it.

Yeah they changed it around after 01 I think. Don't know why. I noticed that when looking at different 200's when buying. :)

Mines different. It slides into reverse far too easily. And I've selected reverse instead of 1st on countless occasions.

As is mine - no way I could confuse 1st with reverse. You have to give it a positive shove to get it through the "gate"

[ChrisIS200SportTTE]

Mine has that 'gate' but it slides through effortlessly. No need for a 'shove' :)

You don't think something is wearing out on mine :(

[rigga955]

And the beeping is deffinatly from the front of the car, sounds like drivers side dash area to me .....

As for the gate wearing and feeling looser its possible depending on the miles covered .

[Raymond.]

I don't mind it beeping but the reverse Warning thing is louder than the PDC beeper.

I need to rip the a pillar trim of anyway soon so ill have a look on how to make it a bit quieter. Or expose the PDC one more to make it louder....

I dont have any beeping noise when i am reversing... could it have been disabled already?

Is yours an Auto? Only the manual beeps :)
