Turn down reverse beeping?

[RattyMcClelland]

Can this be done?
It's very loud and annoying and when you stop and take it out of gear it still beeps until you pull away or switch off.

Please don't say it can be done via the oem radio.

Where is the speakers for it. I'll muffle them.

I don't know about turning the volume down but I can tell you why they continue to sound after you take the vehicle out of reverse.

Earlier versions went silent when the vehicle was taken out of reverse but drivers often let their vehicle continue to roll backwards. I don't need to say more about the consequences! Hence the delay in cutting the reversing sensors off on the newer systems.

The sounder is behind the rear passenger panel, the front one behind passenger B pillar trim

They can be turned down using VCDS, also you can change the tone..

Cheers for the info @Absolut5 , glad I've got the VCDS, another reason to grab hold of one

This can also be done through the head unit in volume settings.

Oops I did just say that as I thought it could?!

 

[RattyMcClelland]

My radio isn't oem so can't be done. I'll muffle it with foam

Ratty I'm in Notts and just got VCDS so your welcome to meet up and have a look at it ?

Boom. That will do. I'll pm you.

Did you figure out how to lower the volume? I need to do the opposite and increase it!

Like you I have an aftermarket radio

 

[Absolut5]

You probably won’t be able to increase it much, but on other VWs I’ve changed the tone which made it appear louder

 

[Rabbit]

It was working at an acceptable level, but I upgraded the software on the alpine last night and can now barely hear it.

I’m about to plug in my Ross tech so will have a look for the tone setting at the same time

You Sir, are a Star!

Knocking the setting from 6 to 9 in speaker volume helped, but changing the tone/frequency from 4 to 8 has made the biggest difference

Huge thanks for the tip
