Civic VTI 1996 - Disable reversing chimes?? Hi = Just bought my 1st Honda, and find the constant beeping chimes when in reverse to be a pain in the butt!
Anyone know how to disable this - I don't have a manual for it yet!
Thanks
Jon

Is the chime in the interior of the car or the exterior of the car. Some people install backup beepers on the outside to warn pedestrians about their car.

Hi - thanks for your reply - no the chimes are internal - doesn't have reversing sensors - just whenever car is put in reverse annoying beeps which i want to disconnect!

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Use your ears to locate the source of the noise, then follow the wires to find the rest of the system.
Maybe previous owner added something? Figure out what it is and why it's there before chopping wires.
Any non-original wiring under the dash or attached to the reverse lights wiring?
I'm not familiar with a factory installed beeper that sounds while in reverse, other than the parking sensor system that has the ultrasonic sensors in the rear bumper, and IIRC Honda didn't start giving us those until the mid 2000s or so in the USA, but they have been available in the aftermarket for quite a while. I've also seen the same sensors used as blind spot detectors.
