Vehicle Proximity Notification System

There is a 12 mm bolt (same bolt as the horns), and it's in a tight space.
With an adjustable wrench, you have to turn it 1/8 a turn at a time.

With the 12mm ratcheting wrench, it's very easy. I picked some up at Homedepot.






Merged

I don't see why not.
Be very careful and don't cut the tiny speak wire anywhere but at the coil, to leave yourself enough.
Also hold the soldering iron on the tips of the tiny wire to burn off the insulation, and to wet the wire.

 

You should weather seal it.
Then tie it down so it don't rattle.

BTW, the resistor wires do insert tightly into the connector, unless you seal them, they will corrode quickly.

 

I agree with this. It doesn't bother me. But I can't judge someone if it bothers them. Everyone is different.

What I wish is that they allowed us to customize the sound. Maybe it could play your theme song. College fight song. The Knight Rider theme. The sound of a Tie-Fighter engine. Etc.

 

I'm not judging. Like I said....too each their own.

Years ago, when VPNS was first introduced, somebody did provide a link to a company that was making "customized" sounds. If I remember right it was things like the sound of a V8 engine, or a Jet taking off. But I've never read of anyone actually installing such a modification.

 

I apologize, I didn't mean to imply you were judging anyone. I can see how it looked like that. I'm sorry.

I had to drive a quick errand a few hours ago and I drove slowly in my residential area. I turned off the radio and rolled down the window. I couldn't hear anything. What does it sound like?

 

Just wrap it up in sound deadening material. Muted.

Hi guys, I'm interested in purchasing the 2016 Prius and never owned a prius before. I have a few questions regarding the buzzing sounds. I'm going to have the dealer shut off the reverse beeping and so it will only beep once. Will that mean that when using park assist that it will only beep once too? What other beeping sounds should I be aware of. Please list as many as you can think of!

 

the vpns can be adjusted for sound level on the 2016.

 

Yes, I see that he default is level one, which seams to be low lowest volume.

 

pefect.

 

About the seat belt beeping, does it start beeping right when you start the car or when you shift gears?

 

when you get over a certain speed, or after so many seconds i think. mine starts after i back out into the street and start down the road.

 

for the jdm version we have a switch that allows us to turn the vpns off. it's next to the drive mode select button on the console. physically disconnecting the vpns doesn't bring up any alarms or error codes either. think this may because of legal regulation in some countries.


iPhone ?

 

The Pedestrian Warning (VPNS) sound on my car is very low. It never grew in volume. I like it that way.
The only time I hear it, barely, is at the drive-thru of McDonald's.

 

I didn't know it was adjustable - I want to turn mine up!

 

The times I do hear mine,not sounds like.....

GIANT ANTS!
