Hi guys,

The most annoying thing, the car beeps in reverse. Anyone know how i remove this?

My supra had this and was easy to remove so hoping it the same on this.

Please help I have to reverse out my driveway every morning at 7am and that's the last thing you want to hear

parking sensors? mine has these but i dont think they were ever genuine fit parts.
mine has 4 sensors in the bumper and the control box is in the drivers side rear quarter panel behind the carpet trim.
then the beeper is under the parcel shelf.
the easiest way to disable would be turn on the igntion fully but dont start the engine.
put car in reverse and open the boot find the beeper, trace back to the control unit and unplug the beeper.

No it`s not reversing sensors, same type of beep though. My JDM does it also, like the car is warning you you have just put the car in reverse. Never really looked at stoping it though.

Thanks mate but it doesn't have parking sensors JDM car beep when you are reversing but only inside the car. Its quite annoying lol Want to remove it.

That's excellent! I bet your neighbours love you lol. I'd be looking at the reverse selection switch to see if anything else is wired into that or maybe the reverse lights.

put it in reverse with ignition on and engine off as before find the beeper and disconnect!
job done.
im a little lost on the point of the beeper if it can only be heard inside the car.

There is a very simple solution to this problem, reverse up your drive in the evening then you wont get the beeping in the morning

Is not as loud as the uk seatbelt warning buzzer but as above you soon get used to it I even find I listen for it to make sure I am in reverse now so would probably miss it if not there, I also reverse off my drive every morning, the warning for leaving the key in is more annoying but that doesn't bother me anymore

As said earlier, it can,t be heard from outside the car . When I first got my 05 jdm sti, it irritated me at first but I dont mind it now. The beeping noise also shows that you have engaged reverse properley. Steve.

I had this in my old Lexus Altezza. Its just to let the driver know reverse is selected. I got used to it though sometimes it was annoying

you can get bulbs that have a beeper in, you could try taking a look at your reverse light bulb, or take it out and stick the car in reverse to see if its that.

Where in the car is the beep coming from?

LOL.....
Wish I had this on my UK Bugeye on Saturday when I was manouevering on the driveway with a Pug 206 behind me....I thought I had her in reverse, I am looking out the mirror and then....BAM!!!!...had it in 1st and hit my own fookin house!!!!
What a plonka!

Luckily....just a couple of minature scratches

If I had the bleeping...I would have know not to let off the brake...LOL!

tbtstt

My '05 STi has a reverse parking sensor which was fitted by the previous owner. Drove me nuts when I first had the car as the beeper was stupidly loud. Moved the beeper to behind the rear seats (its fixed to the bulkhead behind the rear suspension now) and having it behind the rear seats has reduced the volume a fair bit.

It can still be annoying at times, but its been useful on many occasions!

I'm sure my V3 has something like this as now and then I hear a beep. Not all the time though, it's as if there's a connection loose so it doesn't work all the time.

I thought I was going nuts!!!

Thread revival!

I've got a BR9 Legacy and the warning bong is quite annoying...anyone get to the bottom of this?

From a thread in the Europe Forum on SubaruForester.org wrt Forester STI reversing beep...........
I believe it's in the Body Integrated Unit.
