Hi all, I'm back, landed a beautiful 190+ ZT-T in XPG and very, very happy.
Except for the din when I reverse, the seller has provided me with a new set of sensors, but until I have time to fit them, can I disable the sounder? I have a towbar so don't need them really!
Good to be back...

Hiya hst. I cant give you any advice but....nice car mate and welcome back.
I have one just like it only a face-lift model. Same colour as well. Good luck.

the control unit lives in the off side cubby hole in the loadspace area

Is the speaker not on the underside of parcel shelf in the boot space?

Ooops, it's one of them tourer thingys

the towbar will not protect the corners...

better to find the 1 bad wire and sort it no?

klarzy · 18th April 2015, 20:21

with that year the sounder will be in the ipk so to disable then pull the plug in the cubby as Greeners suggested..

hst125 · 18th April 2015, 21:33

Thanks guys, will try these tips tomorrow. The sounder is definitely up front somewhere, just annoying as I need to reverse out every morning!
I'll post pics up in the right place on here ASAP, but I am incredibly chuffed with this two owner fully sorted car for a three digit price. I absolutely love driving it!

do you have a loom as well, from what I read iot fails just as much as the sensors do and may be the culprit... folk here do make new ones, may be worth putting one in while you are at it..

Sensors may be ok & it is more likely a broken wire, put it in reverse with the ignition switched on & listen to each sensor to see if they are 'ticking'.
