Turn off alarm on backup sensors? Bike rack on.

So how do I go about getting that tool?

Lucky8 and a host of other places carry it. Or you can buy direct from GAP diagnostic, I believe.

Thanks @NASdiesel

I just tried this again via the IIDTool and, indeed, parking sensors are disabled and camera still works on my 2012.

Something must have changed software wise in the last 4-5 years. I had the shop that installed my tire carrier and bumper disable them, but it took down both the sensors and the camera.

Much appreciated. I always hated that squawking.

What option are you guys using to disable the sensors? I messed around with it for a few seconds this morning, but nothing jumped out at me as being "it."

Not at home, so going from memory...

Car Configuration Menu/rear parking sensors/not fitted.

@NASdiesel @avslash Does either of your vehicles have blind spot monitoring? Wondering if that too gets disabled once the parking aid is disabled

Nevermind. Found my answer. Looks like I can disable all the sensors and the blind spot and cross traffic functions will still work

I take that back... My steel bumper covers the radar for the blind spot monitoring... Rendering them useless. But I don't care. Fyi, blind spot monitoring uses a radar under the rear lights, not the parking aid sensors.
