Could you please advise me on how to disconnect Toyota Vitz and Runx reverse beeper when you put your car into reverse on automatic transmission so it doesn't make a beep beep sound! What wires do I disconnect!

Find the beeper and cut (and insulate) a wire. so, so simple.

Can't think of any reasons whatsoever why you wouldn't! Beeps and chimes and whistles and sirens and God know what these days!
Bloody annoying!

FIRST you need to teach ALL the little kids including EVERYBODY elses kids what that sound means. Most kids wouldn't know what the beeping is, in the 1st instance.
Next you would need to teach the older kids to not walk around like zombies with mp3 players jammed in their ears with the volume turned up so far that OTHER ppl can hear whats being played.

Mp3 players cranked right up, KILL & maim an amazing amount of ppl every year. Probably more then most other distractions combined.

I think the OP is referring to the internal beeper. wouldn't be audible from the outside!

I think OP is talking about the beep inside the car, not the loud outside warning sound.
snap.

Nope, because I drive a manual. it doesn't beep at me when I put it in reverse BUT I do know exactly where the headlight warning/key in ignition beeper is in my car.

Get a torch and leave the headlights on with the keys out. Its the same beeper. now you can hunt up under the dash for it

IF, it is the internal beeper, then there will be a tiny grill on the lower dash panel near to the driver position. Beware tho, some cars computer systems won't like you disconnecting the beeper. Do a temp cut & drive the car for a few days & use all the gadgets that car has fitted before permanently disconnecting it.

the beeper has a purpose. just imagin your at the lights and your in reverse with no beeper thinking your in drive as that gear is right next to reverse , and then you floor itwhen the lights turn green smashing up the person behind you.

Is it possible to put a horn in place of the indicator beeper, for the deaf old guy who drives along with his left indicator going all the time! There's a big flashing light that he doesn't notice either.

ya shouldn't have told them that would have been fun to see them come back and moan that the car isnt running right had a mate get me to look at there Hyundai van couldn't work out whyit had no power they had disconnected the speedo for obvious reasons and it was in limp mode

LOL yea got wise to that trick a few years ago when a mate disconnected his speedo. No speed sensor to operate the electronic suspension systems/ door locks or abs

With the H1 vans they drop power significantly it wasn't noticed for the first few day because the relief driver was on took 5 mins to fix was funny as

Nah, just learn to drive with your eyes open!
Would a three year old even understand what the beeps are about anyway!
