    Hi,

    I can't find a wiring diagram anywhere for the VF Commodore. I'm at my wits end with the useless screaming from the parking sensors, and I'm sure there is a wire that leads back to the entertainment unit that can be cut / disconnected. I'm hoping it's easy to locate so I can reconnect it prior to resale.

    Any ideas?

    There is a button in the console that turns them off. Why don't you just do that?

    cheers

    Yeah I just press the button and turn it off. It's the remote key - horn chirping buisness that annoys me the most, I can never seem to get it right

    I just leave the door ajar if I get out and walk around (with the keys in the car).

    But yeah, this annoys me. If someone works it out let us know...

    Pretty sure you can turn them off in the mylink config -> car settings -> park assist

    I think that's the order

    That's what I'm doing at the moment... just annoying to have to do it each time I reverse... which is several times a day

    You can turn this setting off so it doesn't beep when the key is left in the car and the door is closed. It is in the Mylink setting, called key left in vehicle reminder I think.

    Thanks mate - I could have sworn I turned it off the other day and the car was just ignoring my wishes. I'll have to go and check this in the morning...

    Surely not, I'm positive you use the other features of sensors like pulling Into a parking spot or when it senses a car coming down the road?

    Great in theory, but like most car sensors, I'm convinced they beep to tell you that a car could one day be in that spot! They just beep to annoy...

    Remember to do it for both keys as it will only change the setting for the key that is in use

    Yes, the parking sensors are also used for the blind spot alert, which I find an invaluable feature and love it. Also used for reverse cross traffic alert, and parking assist.
