2011 Back up sensor delete!

Has anyone figured out how to turn back up sensor beep off FOR GOOD!? I pull a trailer everyday of trucks life (with 4 pin wiring) and the beep is driving me crazy. I thought about getting trailer brakes and controls just to get rid of beep lol

There is typically a button right on the dash, usually near the radio and heater controls. Have you not looked for this ? or does your truck not have one ?

2011 they are in the display screen. it is a PIA compared to the old way when you are already backing up with the steering wheel turned. have to go thru the menus while sitting still for 20 seconds doing it.

i'd add the TBC if the trailers you pull have brakes. i'll be installing one in mine probably in a month or two.

on mine, when the alarm goes off it displays "back up alarm" or something of that nature on the screen with an "on" and "off" button. Simply scroll down once with the steering wheel button and select "off". Takes me around 3/4 of a second.

Have you tried using the seven pin adapter?

Yea, dont work, I was reading somewhere that the wire for electric brake has to be drawing some resistance or something to turn off.
