Hey guys Ive been to the dealership but its like a bunch of idiots work there and can never order the right part. My problem is when i have the radio on at a normal level and i am in reverse, when the sensors find an obstacle they beep but do not mute the radio level. In the manual it says the parking system should mute the radio to a predetermined level. Can anybody else tell me if their truck mutes the radio a little when the sensors pick up an obstacle. I have an 08 lariat with the 6 disk radio. They have replaced the radio and now are ordering me a parking module. Thanks for the help.

 

I don't recall it lowering the radio when they come on, but then it may be at higher listening levels that it reduces the volume. I'll check tomorrow.

 

Thanks, its nothing major but its just driving me nuts

 

I too have the back-up sensors on my 07 Screw but don't remember it lowering the radio volume.... Will check tomorrow too..........

 

Mine does. When backing up, as soon as the sensor detects an object, the volume decreases and it sort of bothers me it does because the beeping is loud enough as is. When I put in an aftermarket (2 different ones) this feature was lost but not a big deal to me at all.

 

mine doesnt on my f250, it pisses me off because its not that loud, even with the radio off its still hard to hear.

 

well they have a parking aid module on order for me. since the radio did not fix the problem, I hope this fixes it.

 

I have a 2008 Limited, and it never lowered the radio volume, im sorry, but that would be so incredibly annoying i dont know why you would want it to do that, your just causing the guys at ford a huge headache. The noise its already annoying enough..
Now, i have a bigger problem. MINES NOT WORKING!!!! and i miss the damn annoying noise! lol. AND my back up camera in the rearview mirror and my reverse lights are not working. Anyone have any clue as to why this is? or why this might be?

 

abaroni, That is why i paid money for the option to know before i hit something. I dont mind the beep since its only in reverse. as for your promblem check for a burnt bulb and check the fuses

 

FYI - the "2004" F-150s had this standard. The muting of the radio with RSS.
Mine has this feature. I really like it.

The muting wire/function was discontinued around 05 Job 2.

 

I have an 07 and it doesn't lower the radio but when I am backing up I lower it anyways to here the beep incase something or someone is back their.

 

VERY VERY interesting. So the OP isn't having any issues with the RSS, just his camera and lights...seems like a connected issue to me, either a bad power ro ground wire.

 

No someone else posted his problem on my topic. I am still having problems with the muting function. If anybody else has an 08 can they tell me if there truck mutes the radio when in reverse

 

No, see my previous post.

 

my bad read it too fast
