jrmynorcal Posted June 27, 2017 Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 So sometimes I pull a tent trailer with the 2007 MKX, and backing up is a challenge enough made more difficult when the car is beeping like crazy thinking I'm going to run into something. So today I fixed that. Put the car key into accessory on position (whatever that's called), then reverse, and had my trailer up close to it so the back up beeps would go off. This helped me locate exactly where the speaker was. I wanted to install the switch on the dash somewhere, but being the speaker was near the cargo area, I didnt want to run 2 wires all the way up there. Pulled back the panel, wedged a piece of foam in there to hold the panel back. There was a yellow/black wire and a green/blue. I clipped the yellow. Added a simple on/off toggle switch. Drilled 1/2" hole through panel and mounted the switch. Now when I go to tow, I can throw the switch and the damn thing doesnt beep! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma-2 Posted June 27, 2017 Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 FYI, you can also turn it off using the message center? You put the car in reverse and press the RESET button. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enigma-2 Posted June 27, 2017 Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 Believe you have to press and hold a few seconds to get it to work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
