Re: Park Assist ATTN:Droid13
Paulgw — I did bring in the 2-page "Manual" for the Park Pilot this morning anyway, so I'm attaching a zipped scanned copy. You'll see that the dash button silences the beeping by temporarily disabling the Park Pilot until the next time that you go into reverse. By the way, I find that it frequently mis-triggers, and each time the continuous beep starts, it seems to go on for ages (at least 5 seconds) before it shuts off. This can be very annoying, especially when there's nothing behind the car, or even off to the sides. Droid13 have you found this mis-triggering with your Park Pilot?
On a related issue, the ultrasonic transducers aren't available in my car colour (Aloe Green Metallic), and so black transducers ("for all other colours") were fitted. They really do stand out on the green bumper though. I wonder whether painting them would affect their operation? Any information on this?
Paulgw — Slightly off topic, but since you have just received a Kentucky-made TCH, I'd be interested to know whether you have been able to successfully re-program the automatic door locking/unlocking options as given in my Manual on pages 42-44. [Your Manual may be different. Mine is listed on the back cover as AU-1, OM 33678U. Let me know what version yours is.] These options let you change things like the default door locking, which occurs as soon as you move the gear lever out of Park, so as to occur only when the vehicle gets above 20 km/h. I have been unable to get any of these changes to work. Are you able to make these changes? If so, I wonder whether the instructions in your version of the Manual might be clearer (or indeed, correct!). I'd appreciate it if you (or any other people!) could let me know whether they've succeeded in making these changes, and if so how. I think you may have to cancel the one option before activating a different option, but I've also tried this without success. Step-by-step instructions please — I may be doing something non-obvious but incorrect in my attempts. Thanks!
