    Show them 6-2 Customization, page 646 of the manual for changing the beeps repeatedly to beeps once.

    Anyone know where I can get this done in the San Francisco peninsula area for free? Magnussen's in Palo Alto wanted something like $50 to do it. I saw someone mention Milpitas, but that's a bit of a hike for me.

    I suspect that my Milpitas dealer only did it free because I bought the car through them. They probably would would not extend that courtesy to a random PiP owner. The service rep had to do a bit of digging when I suggested that other dealers were doing it at no charge for their own customers.

    Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I bought the car from Dianne in Carson - though it's a very nice dealership and I enjoyed buying the car from her, I don't feel like driving 800 miles round-trip to get a free reverse-beep-disable. ;-)

    Can the owner not disable this in the GIII like in the GII?

    I believe that you need something like the Scan Gauge tool. No secret incantations.

    Nope. GIII can only be changed via the OBD port, unfortunately.

    Ah I see, well that's a different situation. I think you'll just have to just pay and enjoy the peace and quiet :)

    I'd put the money towards a Scanguage and do it yourself. I did mine in a few minutes not knowing what I was doing. It was very easy.

    It should also be possible with an Android device + the Torque application. I used the combo to turn off my seat belt reminder today.

    Aside from the Android device, you'll need to spend $5 for the Torque application (actually, the free version may work now that I think about it) and another $20 for a bluetooth ODB2 adapter.

    Thanks for the advice about getting a Scangauge/Android, and about Luscious Garage - I'll look into them!

    In your opinion, do you think this OBD adapter is ok?

    Yes, that is the same one I bought.

    DrInnovation told me to get that one. He said v1.5 was more stable than v1.4. I didnt try a v1.4. I bought this one and it has worked well for me. DrI said this cheap adapter might be limited to just 10-15 PIDs on Torque. USBSeawolf2000 has the Kiwi adapter and he said he can monitor 60 PIDs at a time. But the Kiwi costs $80-100 if I recall?

    There's a subforum here for the Torque Android app. I've posted some data there and you can see how USB and Vincent helped me/us map out all the PHV PIDs to use in Torque.

    http://priuschat.com/forums/obdii-android-app/104779-prius-phv-custom-pids-torque-android-app.html

    USB hasnt updated the original post. But Vincent uploads his PID spreadsheet to Google Docs. Eaech time he revises it, he uploads a new one and disables the old one. So the spreadsheet link on the first page doesnt work (it says you need permission). Here is the latest spreadsheet, on post #42:

    It is a misconception that higher version is better or more stable. Here is a quote from Elm Electronics website:

    Thanks to everyone, I disabled the reverse beep today.

    I bought the cheapo ELM327

    V1.5 Bluetooth ELM327 OBDII OBD-II OBD2 protocols Auto Diagnostic Scanner Tool | eBay

    I used a USB-to-Bluetooth adapter on my notebook

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/DTECH-DT-USB-2-0-Mini-Bluetooth-Dongle-Adapter-Windows7-/250796896608?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3a64a8f160

    You need to buy this only if you do not currently have a terminal that connects to Bluetooth.

    After the ELM327 is connected (paired) to my notebook, I opened COM4 (your PC might vary) from PuTTy and entered in the commands posted by GaryP previously

    Commands:
    AT SH 7c0 (hit 'Send')
    Returns: OK

    21ac (hit 'Send')
    Returns: 61 AC 00 (meaning continuous beep)

    3bac40 (hit 'Send')
    Returns: 7F 3B 78
    Returns: 7BAC (meaning done)

    21ac (hit 'Send')
    Returns: 61 AC 40 (meaning now single beep)

    I put the car in reverse and viola, only one beep. :)

    Note: Your car must be in READY mode.

    The dealer from which I got the PIP did it for free a week after delivery. He did warn me that he would perform whatever dealer customization changes only once for free.

    I had him change the reverse beep and the seatbelt alarm.

    For any additional future changes, including changing something back, he will charge me $45.
