Anyone know of a way to turn the sound off,but leave the display on? The EVIC does not give you that option. You can have sound on or off,but if you want the display(camera)you have to keep the sound on. Really annoying when backing a trailer long distances. OR does anyone have any idea where the chime is located,so that maybe it could be muffled a bit. The volume on the nav unit(430n-RHB) has no effect as it does in bluetooth calls and nav voice. I don't want the expense or hassle of one of those aftermarket gizmos just to turn on the camera. Thanks.
The console switch is a quick fix when pulling a trailer. Another method is located within the settings of the EVIC that gives you the option of camera and beep, rear camera only, or beep only.
The EVIC options are off, sound only, or sound and display. "Display" here refers to the symbols and messages in the EVIC (behind the steering wheel), not the camera.
Camera options are controlled by the "menu" button on the radio. Select "system setup," then "camera setup" if you have a NAV radio, then "enable rear camera in reverse."
Yes, sorry, the rear parking sensors will only work when the transmission is in reverse, but the front sensors are the ones I mentioned to be annoying while stopped in traffic.
Edit: It also happened to a company car I used to drive (Volvo XC60), but the noise was way lower, it didn´t bother me.
We don´t have the adaptive cruise control option available here in Brazil, so I assume they are independent.
The referred button controls both at the same time (front+rear sensors). And that is why I would like to muffle the chime just a little bit.
interesting. i'm not sure if you can get the Wk2 with front sensors in the states - maybe someone w/ a limited (or above) will comment. I only have rear sensors in my Laredo .... would LOVE front ones.
