VVTI Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 I can't take it anymore the reversing beep is so annoying, I'm in a celica not a lorry. Anyway a quick internet search, has answered my irritation. A 10 min job of taking the dash out and cutting one single wire and peace has now returned yay. I can't believe I have put up with that for over a year, for the sake of 10 mins work. Has anyone else done this or am I too easily irritated?

RUToyota Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 Never considered it as a problem tbh....for the very small amount of time I'm actually using reverse gear it doesn't bother me at all. Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dean68 Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 I like the beep. Especially when I jump in and select reverse without thinking. It's not very often that I do that. But in 5 yrs of ownership probably done it 3times. So it's nice just to be warned by the beep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geraintthomas Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 I did it on mine, but only as I have parking sensors so didn't want the two beeps at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKINY Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 Change it out for a novelty duck quack or dog bark one, I had a sheep one on the truck for a while, funny but childish 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planc Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 I removed the pin from the connector block on my first gen 7 in 2001, I'm not a fan of cutting wiring looms. But I have owned this one over 5 years and the buzzer hasn't bothered me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I have owned this one over 5 years and the buzzer hasn't bothered me. I see your reason for taking the pin out, for resale reasons. But as mine is pushing a 100k on a pre face lift 140 I think I will be the last owner so i'm not to bothered. As its not burning oil yet, I am getting the most fun out of it that I can without it beeping at me. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moorx Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 Change it out for a novelty duck quack or dog bark one, I had a sheep one on the truck for a while, funny but childish Now this I like Better not have a dog bark, though, that really would confuse my dogs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gimba Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 Never bothered me, infact when i first got my celica i Was so glad it did have a beep, with Reverse and 1st gear next to each other Like other has said, I only use reverse a few times a week for seconds at a time, so it's nothing worth faffing about with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akuma77 Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 rich it has come in handy when i first got mine as i put car into reverse instead of 1st at faraday road lol , doesnt really annoy me as such .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tabbaranx Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 (edited) If something like that annoys you so much then there may be underlying issues. How often and how long are you ever in reverse for? Edited September 14, 2015 by tabbaranx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev 16v Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 I've heard many owners in Yorkshire reverse to work and back..the lower mileage on the clock reduces depreciation. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parker13 Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 I was in stopped traffic on the motorway once and went to set off and the clutch didn't bite. I immediately assumed I was in third and not first, so slammed it across into what I thought was first and turned out to be reverse. I think the guy behind me must have had the fright of his life. The beeping saved me an accident that day! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
