Annoying beep beep beep reversing noise

[ajsmith 0]

Hey everyone.

Please help me (again) ...

I have '92 318i auto. When in reverse, like most autos, my car will make that beep beep beep noise.

After installing a new headunit and front speakers (removed cover under steering wheel to run wires through to headunit aswell) the beep beep beep noise randomly decides to come on. It tends to come on when I apply the break (only sometimes) and when I flick my indicator on (everytime). I'm assuming its just a wire somewhere thats been moved.

1) Does this beep beep beep noise need to work in order for me to get a wof?

2) If its not required for a WOF ... is there a simple way of ripping something out so it doesnt work at all?

Thoughts are, as always very much appreciated.

Thanks

No .. doesn't need the beep beep sound for WOF, those beep beep sound in reverse only compulsory in Japan. So all Jap imports will make that sound.

The gong is on the panel right above the padels. Suppose you could just unplug the wires.

Sweet thanks for the feedback guys.

I know its cheap and tacky but it solves the problem.

Will try and rip it out tonight.

Thanks
