[carbonman]

Anyone know how to stop that hell anoying reversing beep beep?
When I get stuck down the dead end trails and have to spend the next 20 mins reversing, its kinda does my head in!!

A reversing bleeper is kind of unusual .I would try & find the source of the sound & disconnect it. The Japs like all kinds of weird options but that sounds after-market.
Hopefully it's going to be in an easy to reach location.

I've got one too... pain in the a** but it is disconnectable I believe, just havent got round to it yet, but a mechanic friend said he'd done one and it was easy.

Mine too, mind you I kind of like mine so I haven't bothered to disconnect it. (I think I must be sick in the head).

Yep, got a reverse beeper inside the car too. Its not aftermarket.

Yeah, mine bleeps to, but I kinda like it! Shame it doesn't sound outside too!!

Mine too-its great, when any one gets in they think theyre in a massive truck like an American Arctic or something, and that it has to have one fitted 'cause its so BIG!!

Yep I've got one too, but my standard cure means it rarely bothers me, turn the stereo up

It does grow on you. When I first had the surf it drove me nutz. Now I dont notice it until I have to reverse a long distance.

Dead easy to get rid - properly.

Remove the clock cluster - basically remove the top half of the dash to do this - instructions for this are on here

Once you can get at the back of the cluster you will see a small black box with two terminals, about 1/42 in size. This is bolted with tiny (2 or 3mm) nuts & bolts to the back of the clocks, near the top of the rev counter. Remove it..then bin it.... TADAAAAAAAAAA ! Done.

If you're not sure about the box, pull the dash to peices, clocks plugged in, ignition on, into reverse... it WILL make itself known

Does that just control the reversing beep or all the irritating alarm bells,,chimes, dongs, and beeps?

[Woodie]

Cant we just change it to say something like, 'Whoa, get out of the way dude!' ?

Think that was an option on the US 4Runners....
