OK, I give up, does anyone have any ideas on how to disable the reversing alarm in a series 1 Stagea?

I have seen some stupid ideas in cars in my time, but a reversing alarm that can only be heard INSIDE the cabin???

I mean, c'mon!

I have looked and looked but I can't figure out where it is coming from and I would really like to disconnect it, while still keeping my reversing lights etc working so if anyone has any ideas....

Its so u know shes in reverse bud. same thing that beeps when ur lights are on. U cant just disconnect it tho, it disables ur central locking (beats me how)

u need to keep the beeper connected, just bust the lil speaker in it.

rob is correct, its connected to a little black box behind the dash and it does the beeping for doors open and keys in ignition as well i think and it pisses me up the wall as well ;) i think its a good idea for reverse so u dont go planting it to the floor when u think its in 1st and u are actually in reverse :D

i am glad mine doesn't have one of these things fitted or i woulda smashed the shit out of it ages ago i HATE it when cars beep at me mine only beeps when i have the key in and the door open with the ignition off.

Next time you reverse over someone...???????????? Why?

I dunno about anyone else, but I have never had this alarm in any car I have ever driven and I have never stepped on the go pedal by mistake when I am in reverse, and if you the type of person to make a careless mistake like that, I would pray that I am not sharing a road with you while you are piloting a turbo charged anything!

I have the beeper, but only when one of 2 things occur:

1. Lights left on and key turned to OFF

2. Key in ingition in any position and drivers door is opened.

I dont get anything when I put mine into reverse, (manual convert)

My box is just above the fusebox behind the plastic bits, foud it during the wonderful expedition of changing the heater core... *twitches uncontrollably*

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
