Is there anyway of disabling the reversing bleeper but still retain the other warning functions ?

There's a connector block under the steering wheel and a wire you can snip, but that's all I can remember (Bob even less

). There might be a fact sheet in the members area or else have a search as it used to be discussed a lot. Personally, I hate the snip and have got used to the Lilliputian peal of bells when my reversing sensors, the reversing bleeper and the AFT-up warning light are all at it while I reverse with the roof up

That's more help, Mike.

Hi
At my age, the beeper's useful...or how else do I know when I'm going backwards....????

Oh....not only have I got my beepers still....but I've added a few more...One went off in the winter...Coo...that's a new one, I thought....It was the ice warning....but....and here's where it gets technical....an inner sixth sense clicked in moments before the beep and let me know about the ice....on reflection, the shiny white stuff on the road was a bit of a give-away!!!!!!
Cheers

P.S. follow the beep and cut the wire!

If you just want the reversing beeper shut up, remove the red/yellow tracer wire.

I don't know why everyone want's to disable these beeps - I pluged them all back in when I bought mine - the reverse on stops the wife trying to go forward in reverse - the light's on one stops the battery going flat and the key in the ignition makes sure I take the keys into the house and lock the Bongo!

Yes, but it's great for annoying those mechanics who leave your door open in the workshop for someone to bump into!

They are all worth having but not so loud.

I've reduced the output of the sounder to an acceptable level for late night residential parking by poking a bit of matchstick into the hole in the sounder and, more significantly, by applying a ring of Blutack around the cylindrical cover where it sits on the circuit board. A hell of a lot of the sound comes out through that gap.
