Disabling F-150 Lightning's Beeps, Dings, Chimes, Honks, Bings, Bongs, and Dongs

[WillB17]

I have your Megaohm for my reverse, works great. I did unplug my brand new 2025 Lariat frunk speaker and have had zero issues though? No errors.

It could be update related. It seems the trucks that got updates later on magically started getting faults. The truck themselves are not great at keeping up with updates, many have had to use a mongoose cable to get up to date, but i'd still stick a bypass on there once the update does hit your truck.

Side note as well, we are stocked locked and ready to rock on the frunk bypasses so there is no longer a wait time!

There should be a toggle in your sync screen to shut this off.

Is that what the "key detection" option does?

I don't have my truck with me to confirm, but that sounds like the one.

If you're like me, you'll agree that a stock F150 Lightning has too way too many audible warnings. This thread catalogs the different methods I've used to turn them off, sorted by overall annoyingness. Hopefully it's useful to someone!

Note that many of these noises are federally mandated, and/or genuinely important for safety. Please use good judgement when modifying your vehicle.

Things I've done:

• Disable frunk beep. This requires unplugging the frunk speaker. www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdWVnZ5vNgM
• Disable backup beeper. This also disables the low-speed pedestrian noise, so please be careful with this one. These noises are federally mandated, and you will be ridin' dirty without them. You'll need to install the megaohm speaker delete kit: https://www.megaohmmotorsports.com/product/ford-psbk-ece
• Disable key-in chime. FORSCAN Code IPC 720-02-01 xx*x xxxx xx-- (subtract 8 from current value (if E change to 6))
• Disable triple chime on vehicle startup. FORSCAN Code IPC 720-01-02 xxxx x2xx
• Disable door ajar chime. FORSCAN Code IPC 720-01-02 xx0x xxxx
• Disable seatbelt chimes. This can be done via a series of button presses and seatbelt clicks. Again, please do not ride dirty. See here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcMErUaI3Cg
• Disable "check rear seats" warning. This can be done via the touchscreen: Settings > Vehicle > Rear Occupant Alert
• BONUS: IPC quick boot. This disables the annoying (albeit inaudible) Ford advertisement that takes over your screen when the vehicle boots. IPC 720-07-01 xxxx xxxx 2xxx

Things I haven't done, but are theoretically possible:

• Disable double honk if you get out of the truck while it's running and bring your key with you. Mine actually never did this so I didn't bother with it. FORSCAN Code BCM 726-41-02 xxx0 xxxx xxxx
• Disable parking sensors. This can be done via the touchscreen, although it is a useful tool depending on where you park. One of the few dings that I left on.
• Disable power liftgate chime. I don't have a power liftgate, so I skipped it.

Things I still haven't figured out how to do:

• Disable "Rear sensor blocked" chime (yes, I know when my liftgate is down, Ford!).
• Disable "No key detected" chime
• Disable chime on lane keeping cancellation.
• Disable "transmission is not in park" chime when you open the door without having shifted into park.
• Disable animation on power down.

I'll update this post as I find solutions to the above noises, or if I discover other chimes that need to be silenced. Again, I hope this is useful to someone-- None of this is new information, but maybe I've saved you some time by not having to search for it.

I would add to your list for the ped/backup speaker sound the option of using forscan in addition to the Megaohm for those that already have forscan this can save them money.
