Beeping through car speakers

Post by toyneg » Fri Sep 19, 2014 2:48 pm

does anyone else have this, just an annoying beep every now and then that seems to be coming through the speakers, it will do it even with the ignition switched off and the keys out?

Could be alarm letting you know the battery is low... usually does it on start up, three beeps from the rear speakers.

I've never heard this. How does the beeping get to the speakers? Or is it the parking sensor speaker making the noise?

I can hear 2 faint beeps in succession pretty much all of the time in mine, ignition off or on. Dose'nt sound like its coming through the speakers though, more from the central dash. No fault codes either after scanning...Puzzling?!?

I think it's actually a separate speaker, not 100%, had it happen on my S3.

The bluetooth module that came with my car made random bleeping noises until I unplugged the bloody thing. My one was located above the fuse box behind drivers side dash.

Yeah same on mine, faint beeps constantly but they seem to come through the speakers at the back. It's weird
