    coming from one of them places where the prius dash display doesn't quite look like the one pictured on the guide and the process listed on the guide apparently doesn't work because there is no "b-off" displayed when the ODO is pressed for 10 seconds


    does anyone here have a 2006 aussie, japanese, chinese, or german or EU prius that has used a different method or key sequence to turn off the reverse beep?


    if so, what is the key sequence for disabling the reverse beep?


    or is there a link to where i can find something like this?



    p.s. i've got a package UA-100 (e.g. no nav, JBL, OEM HID's, no auto HL off, park assist, left hand drive, mirror turn signal lights, factory EV mode, and SKS without the cut key)

    so basically kinda like a japanese prius but left hand drive and missing a bunch of the features though i've got HID's for both high and low beams, and i've got LED drl's


    the reverse beep is annoying; please help


    thanks

    I don't have a foreign Prius (as far as I know!) but I never got the "b-off" after holding the ODO for 10 seconds either. But when I kept holding the ODO button in, shifted to reverse, and then hit the Park button, I got "b-on" in the display. Released the ODO button, pressed it again, and got "b-off" and blessed silence. Don't know if it'll work for you or not, but give it a try and let everyone know if it does!

    I haven't tried this yet, but is it off permentantly or just until you restart the car?

    It's off forever! I had to wait till I went to work and came home to be sure it was really, really off before I answered your question. The silence is wonderful B)

    It’s off until you replace (or in my case disconnect) your battery. I went thru the sequence to remove the back up beep when I first got my Prius a year ago, then recently I disconnected my battery to put in my XM unit. First time I put it in reverse after that I got that annoying beep that I had completely forgot about! Now I had to go looking for the sequence to get rid of it again ‘cause I hadn't remembered!

    thanks for the warning! Do you know if they disconnect the battery to do the dealer install of the XM? I'm getting that put in Monday. At least I still have my notes on how to make it hush if it starts beeping again.
