Unannounced 2025 changes (backup beep)

[Maineiac12]

My 2024 got the orange wrench “service soon” icon on the dash today and my dealer put me up in a 2025 XLT Lightning loaner.

I noticed that they changed the backup beep for 2025. It’s now a different sound altogether and also much quieter than earlier model years. Unfortunately, the frunk beep is still the same.

Just something interesting I thought I’d share. I wonder what other small changes they made?

Just wait they will change ours in an OTA… sometime before or after 2030!

It’s not a great recording, but here’s what it sounds like in my garage. I rolled down the window and recorded it from the driver seat.

I like it, has a bit of a church bell tone to it, seems softer as well.

I agree! Hope we all get it someday. @Ford Motor Company

I bet this is an easy part swap for 22-24 owners that prefer the new sound. I wouldn't spend the money on it, but I'm sure someone out there would.

The reverse sound should be
” Danger, Danger Danger Will Robinson”
IMHO

I’m so glad for forscan so I never have to hear it in my truck. ?

I didn't think there was a way to disable the pedestrian sound speaker via Forscan. Can you provide the module and settings to do that?

I removed my frunk speaker 2 years ago and it's so nice not waking up the neighborhood when I open/close the frunk.

Just take out your glovebox, unplug the PACModule on the passenger kick panel then make one change in FORScan to eliminate the nag message:

Change the 2nd nibble of the IPC Block 9 Group 2 from 4 -> 0
*or whatever change is appropriate for your trim level to disable AVAS

I’d rather have “intruder alert”

Thought I saw that this throws a code now in the newer model years? Any confirmation? I'm in a 2024 and would love to silience the beeps as well!

Not sure, I have a '22 Lariat SR. I kept the speaker around just in case. It can be plugged back in as needed.
