Celica Forums General Discussion General Beeping?

Ive heard ALOT of members talking about their car beeping when its in reverse...kinda like a garbage truck backing up. I own a 2002..and it doesnt do that...and i havent seen any celicas that do that..whats up?

the 2003+ gts has it to prevent you from putting the car into reverse instead of 1st. It's dumb and I need to make it stop.

damn...in theory it makes sense...but i dunno...reminds me of an RC-car...lol

my 02 gts does it too the beeping is on all the 6spd celicas its there to make the driver aware he has it in reverse and not 1st.. and it only beeps inside, and by the way there is a way to disable, try search

i heard there is wire behind the dash that needs to be cut...

Yeah, mine beeps...and everybody who rides in the passenger seat laughs at it. Oh well...I just tell them it's because it's a 6 speed, and it's to let you know when you're in reverse, instead of 1st gear (which is right beside it).

BTW...it only beeps from the inside...it's not like a dump truck.

ohhh..on the inside...<sigh>..i got scared for a second..i thought it beeped on the outside like a garbage truck..lol

if you have your windows down, yeah, it's loud enough to hear it from the outside...

LOL, that would be funny. My skidoo does that .. BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP, when its in reverse. Man I hate that!

I just picked up my '02 and was all apprehensive after hearing about the dreaded beep-age. It's actually pretty quiet and not intolerable, and I've jammed it up into reverse several times instead of first already, so I can understand it's utility! It's impossible to hear if the tunes are cranking at any decent volume...

that would get annoying real fast...

LOL. How so? R U driving in REVERSE for long periods of time? Cuz, I'm in REVERSE maybe for a minute total on a daily basis.

repetition is not my friend...

the beepin isnt annoyin i like, plus friends think its funny

yea..it is kind of annoying at first,but you get used to it.

don't EVER undo that.

I backed the car into a garage, and someone went to move it, thought it was in first gear, and backed the thing into a shelf, causing me to buy a new bumper

mine doesn't beep...but i think there is a post about how to turn it off.

I think its annoying, but I wouldn't unhook it. It could be an ass end saver.

whats really annoying is the beeping sound that repetitively goes on when the key is in the ignition and the driver's door is open.

This is to Virgilson and to the guy who started this thread:


You have GT's.

The beeping only happens with GTS's, due to the fact that reverse is right next to first.



20 posts in, and I'm the only one who noticed?

i would have noticed if i knew where reverse was for a GTS

That is correct

Since its only comes on GTS ll you GT owners dont have to worry.

the beeping isn't annoying, and i dont think i've ever made the mistake of shifting to reverse instead of first before it takes a little more muscle so push into reverse so you know when u've gone too far

I have a white gts, 6speed 03 celica and mine beeps also. I happen to like my beeping..I feel unique because all my friends are like going crazy when they hear it.

yup. just another cool little detail about the celi.

Yeah mines beeps too and mines is a 2000. This girl I always kick it with she makes fun of it all the time. But i just ignore it because im used to it already. But the people who sit in my car and hear that lol, they always ask me "wtf is that noise, it sounds like a big truck," Im like yeah yeah i know but you cant hear it outside of the car and it does that cause its a 6-spd and the reverse is to the left. BTW people always trip out about where the reverse is located on the 6-spds. there always like "wha " I always tell them, it's because my car is unique and cool like that

most bmws have the reverse in teh same place as the celica even with their 5spd

damn that sucks jameson

but Caleb's car is an 00 6spd and his beeps too

... ineurope every clica have the reverse beep, 'cause every have the 6-speed manual ... even the gt
...
I think it's a pretty good attention ...
