Anyone found a way to disable the reverse beeping? It's loud as hell, and I'm sure will annoy the neighbors.

Isolation Kit for the PWS (Pedestrian Warning System) (abstractocean.com) I'm sure some Ford aftermarket company will come out with something similar.

I wonder if someone will develop one that tricks the computer

I gotchu

It will probably throw a speaker ckt open code.

Brian,
Can I ask if your service literature was acquired thru Helm Publishers? If so, is there
wiring diagram info on the dvd? They say that they will publish a paper wiring diagram late this year. Does your literature show all the details for Hybrid and Propower? Thanks in advance

I have access to Factory service manuals.

Are they dvd's or books, or an online service? Just wondering if Helm dvd's are similar to what Ford techs use. Thanks again

Been drive'n our '21 Powerboost F150 for 6 weeks & back'n into our garage daily. No issues with the reverse beep be'n annoyingly loud. It has its own distinctive sound as compared to construction equipment or tractor-trailers. We find it to be subtle but not excessive.

It isn't enjoyable; I'm in construction. I understand commercial vehicles, not personal! Obnoxious, please figure a way to dumb it down!

What kind of speaker is? Piezoelectric? Drill a hole through the diagram, the computer will think it’s working but no sound.

If Biden and Harris have their way, it won’t be much longer and every vehicle on the road will have the beep. ?
Just get use to it.

Feels like a giant step backwards when this vehicle is louder than my non electric 2017.

not sure the type of speaker, do you mean Diaphragm? not trying to be snarky just trying to understand.

no prob. I just don’t have one, so I don’t know what is actually emitting the sound. Lots of back up beeps/buzzers are like this. If you unplug, the zero resistance will tell the computer that it’s missing, but if you physically impair it, the resistance is there but no sound.

I have a side garage which I have to back into for the truck to fit. It takes a few minutes to get it stuffed in, so that beeping gets really annoying. My wife, however, really likes it (we have two boys under 7 and a cul-de-sac full of other kids). So, I may try to mute it, but will likely not eliminate it.

Im sure there is a way, however your truck will no longer be road legal technically (per NHTSA). Read below:

So, I was at the store and a 2021 Fusion hybrid-EV went into reverse... No backup beep... only the buzz of the artificial nose. I talked to the owner who had just taken delivery 2 weeks earlier and he was not aware of any reverse beeping on his vehicle.
