clarky666 Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Ola ! Had my Supra for about a month now and one which which is really bugging me is the car sounding like a bloody HGV when i am reversing with that nutty beeping noise. Is this a JDM feature? Reason i ask as the MR2's i had were J-spec and neither of them had the thing. Is there any way to remove it without too much hassle? Ta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldy Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 yes small grey plug in thing on the back of the clocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveR Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Huh. Interesting. Mine's J-Spec and I never had this problem. Obviously a previous owner went through what you did and got rid of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStar 3000 Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 My imported Shoguns have the same beep as does my J-spec Soop. Must be a Jap thing My g/f calls it the Austin Powers multi turn alarm. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downimpact Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 my jspec has never done that and I was was the first keeper in the UK. Maybe it was optional? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarky666 Posted June 9, 2009 Author Share Posted June 9, 2009 Alright guys cheers. Actually was my GF that noticed about two weeks after having the car as the stereo must always have drowned it out when i was driving. Mine is a 1999 model so maybe an added extra on the later imports ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellis Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Mine does it too - pointless thing it is! I'm pulling the dash apart at the weekend to fit Garfy's spoiler override switch so will yank that wire out at the same time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abz Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 I was given courtsey car from EuroSpec and this was an imported Celica which had (94) this beeping noise when reversing, my Supe has it as well, looks like it was an JDM thing for Auto's. Best thing is every passenger who hears it goes... "Ohhhh you got reverse parking sensors", I am like "Yep, they come as standard" =D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 a search is your friend...the answer to this is somewhere on the forum as it has been discussed in detail before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellis Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 "On mine, I found it behind the dash. If you remove the dash in the normal way and then completely remove the speed/rev/fuel/temp dash arrangement you'll find a little grey plug-in adapter on the back of the circuit board. Just take it off and thats it. All it does is take power from the back of the rev counter."
