Turning off Routine Beeps
#1
Has anyone figured out how to turn off the regular beeps that occurr every time you press a button on the steering wheel or around the multi-screen?
I'm finding it very annoying, especially on long trips, while carrying on a conversation or while my wife is trying to sleep.
I asked the Prius Tech at the dealer last time I had it in and he said he'd "look into it", but haven't heard anything.
I did look through, both the Menu Settings screen and also searched the Multi5.pdf document that was posted on the 04 Prius Yahoo Group site - to no avail.
TIA,
Peter

From the Prius FAQ file that's floatin around...
Let me know how it turns out! I'm debating on turning off mine, as well. I've never come close to "accidentally" hitting it, but I know it only takes once.
1. Power on (not necessarily ready, IG-ON will do).
2. Set Trip/ODO to ODO
3. Power off.
4. Power on to ready (brake on).
5. Within 6 seconds, press and hold ODO for 10 seconds or more.
6. WHILE STILL HOLDING ODO *after* 10 seconds, Shift from P to R, then back to P. Now release ODO.
7. You'll see in the trip display "b on" or "b off".
8. Press ODO to toggle.
9. Now power off.

I believe these directions only apply to the "R"everse beep.
I did this and like it much better without the reverse beep. This person is looking to turn off other interior beeps, suc as when you "touch" the the LCD screen (and it beeps with each touch).

Thanks Jason, for the instructions.
I have, actually, already successfully used those to turn off the infernal Reverse beeping (much more sane now, especially with our recent snow in Oregon) .
Does anyone know of a way to contact corporate Toyota technical folks?

Peter,
I wonder if you can make changes to that from this Diagnostic menu (or maybe something similar exists elsewhere):

Some people "mod"ded their Classic Priuses to lower interior volume of the turn signals by finding the speaker that produced the sound and placing some dampering -- cotton bat, duct tape, etc. -- over the speaker grille to block some of the volume.
I don't know where the speakers are for these internal (infernal?) beeps, but it's an idea.
