Secondary 'Beep'... Advice???

MangoMan · 8th February 2013, 21:09

Hi there chaps...

I'm after a bit of advice here tonight. I went out earlier and I noticed that when I put it in Reverse there was a quieter secondary 'Beep' after the first normal 'Beep'. Never heard it before that's for sure!

Anyway, when I got home I decided to record it on my cellphone and of course S0D's Law it only did it once!!! You can hear it the first time I select Reverse, but then it doesn't do it again...... By the way the other buzzes is just notifications on my 'phone.... Sorry.

Has anybody else had, or heard this from their car?

Thanks for your time and input.

And I had to put the Yankee Candle in the car as the Wife bought it for me.....

So I gather no-one has any idea of what that was/is? I have to say, it's not doing it anymore...???

I've never come across this myself Bill, on any of the four cars I've owned

Hi Paul.
I know, it sort of surprised me too! Never heard it before and it didn't do it at all yesterday...??? But it was definitely linked to engaging reverse.

Thanks anyway.

ps. Did you notice how quiet my car is now?....lol.

Probably dodgy reverse switch. Judders a bit and....voila.....two beeps.

diffrent as in a wire isnt tight on the speaker perhaps

a certain movement even vibaration to the speaker might make wire move so a tight it ... you could say it a rare set of parking sensors with dual tone beeps

is the unit getting wet ?

If you listen to the recording you will hear the 'normal' Beep when Reverse is selected, then about a second after there is a quieter, duller Beep, (car still in reverse).... It did it a total of 4 times, but the last time it did it was when I recorded it. After it doing it once on the recording, it hasn't done it since...???
