Disable back up sensor alert sound?

[OshKosh22]

I finally received my 2024 F150 Powerboost and loving it so far. One thing I am not sold on is the beeping alarm when the truck is in reverse. Is there anyway to change the setting on this feature?

Yes, order the speaker bypass kit from Megaohm
Just select "F150 PowerBoost Kit". install is easy and no more annoying noise while backing up.

I would also recommend ordering the Ford Billet Fuel Door Pin to replace the OEM plastic pin. Easy Install and don't have to worry about the plastic pin breaking because the one from MegaOhm is aluminum. see link below

Great, thank you

Great, thank you

I would also highly reccomend getting these screen protectors for the 12'' screen as well as the Digital instrument cluster. I have the HD ones and it is awesome. It cuts down on the the fingerprints, glare and will protect the screens. Install is easy, just watch the installation videos before installing.

I thought you could get rid of the beeping with Forscan.

Yes, you can do it through ForScan and you also have to disconnect the PACM.

The pedestrian alert system is Federally mandated - FMVSS No. 141 requires HEVs to emit a pedestrian alert sound

This is a personal preference thing to me.... but I would rather my truck still show that PACM is connected and operational but not emit a sound. Rather than having the programming changes made and actually disconnecting the PACM. If something were to happen, Cut the zip ties & remove bypass and reconnect the speaker.

If you want to go a different route, a member on here produced a file to 3d print a cap that covers the speaker. It doesn't completely shut off the backup alarm, but it muffles it quite a bit.

I can't recall who posted it, but I think that this is the the same (or a similar) file: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6450689

Remember…..it’s federally mandated to be installed at the factory. It’s like a mattress tag. The owner can remove it, no law broken

When I got my 24 KR I was going to remove the beeper but after a short period of time I got used to it. Now I hear it but it doesn’t bother me. Wait a couple months before you replace it.

Appreciate the feedback. Honestly from inside the cab its not very noticable, however getting shit from my neighbors for the sonar sound is more of the inconvenience.

They need to be made aware of the awesomeness

Until you accidentally hit a nun carrying a basket full of kittens and baby seals. Insurance will find a way to not pay out.

I honestly don't even hear it anymore. If anyone nearby is annoyed, I know they won't run in front of me at least. ?‍

The ghost sound my wife's BMW makes actually annoys me more.

I encourage you to keep it. It is a safety feature that alerts bystanders that you are backing up. If you disable it then the odds of personal injury increase. If the injured party discovers you intentionally bypassed a safety device they may use it against you in a lawsuit. I wouldn't eliminate the possibility that insurance would deny the personal injury claim as well.

I doubt insurance companies could deny coverage. My agent called Allstate to see if I could be denied coverage if I overloaded my truck. No. If they could they would deny coverage if you run a stop light or were speeding or many other things. If they could they would never cover anything that was your fault.

You haven't met a good lawyer then yet.
