      Apparently with a laptop and some time you can disable the loud ass reverse beeping Ford makes their hybrids do. Probably illegal but it’s super annoying sounding like a giant work truck to back up my escape and no cop is going to say anything if my car doesn’t beep since 99% of consumer cars don’t do it

        I have a 2016 Ford C-Max Hybrid SE and the only reverse beeping it makes is if someone or something is behind me as I’m backing up. The beeping is only heard from inside. Hmmm… I better verify that in the morning when someone is available to help me test…

          Mines a 2021 escape, as soon as it’s put into reverse it has external beeps like a box truck to warn people since it’s in electric propulsion and makes almost no noise.

            I just asked my wife and she confirmed that there are no beeping sounds from it when I’m backing up.
