    I just purchased a Prime Advanced. The information here made my decision a lot easier. Is there a top ten setting changes that I should do. I am having them turn on the beeping in reverse. Any recommendations for charging stations. I see posts for Juicebox, Clipper Creek and Chargepoint. What are the pros and cons of each unit? Any others?

    Typo? "On" but meant "off?"

    I don't have it yet. I will make the change to my profile once it is in the stable. I noticed the constant beeping in reverse during the test drive. They were able to set my 2012 to beep only once when placed in reverse. So I suspect this is the same.

    What really helped me learn about the settings really quick before I picked up my Prime was to watch this video:

    It was a month before I realized the beeping was not the radio. It was becoming my favorite song. Words were easy to remember. Had a nice beat...or beep.

    I had the dealer set my reverse beep to 1.

    Next I listened to the startup and shutdown animation music once and then went into settings and muted it.

    I like the Chargepoint the best. It's wifi connected displays all the stats in the app. Since most of the public charging stations around here are Chargepoint I get a pretty accurate picture of how much I've charged at home and in public in one place. I had to do a hardwired install outside since I don't have a garage and their instructions were pretty easy. The only real con is its more expensive than the other options.

    Ever since the Prime came out late last year I've heard people saying the first change must be to the reverse beep. I've had my Advanced for 8 months now and the reverse beeps have never annoyed me. I'd swear you people are driving all the way to work in reverse!! I'm in reverse for about 0.00001% of my driving -- maybe I've been doing it wrong...

    You mean the "R" is not for "race"?

    I suspect for many of us. SWMBO is annoyed by the beeping. That is one reason I had mine changed.

    I agreed with you until recently when I almost didn't notice the cross traffic alert because of the backup beep. I think with the cacophony of sounds, I'm going beep blind. So I too intend to request the change at my first maintenance visit.

    LOL! We are the opposite. My wife doesn't mind at all. Hers is still on on her '07. I turned mine off IMMEDIATELY when I got it home. ;)
