@ Cincy,

(deactivation switch on the dash-board for front sensor only).

On my XS the dash deactivation switch kills both front and rear sensors.

Its the same on my HSE and probably the same on all FL2's with a deactivation switch on the dash.

However I understand that the moan was about the first beep and radio muting when selecting reverse so if somebody cant live with that little discomfort then they should swap to another drive that dosent have beeps - if they can find one  2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

Well there's another error to be corrected in the LR manual, then.

I can understand the beeps would be annoying (even distracting) during forward / reverse rocking procedures.... but it's surely not a big problem in normal every day use?

Perhaps pulling the radio fuse will stop all beeps

or simply pull the beep fuse
However the beepers are there to help you when you need them  2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

I'm pretty sure my SE is the same?
I agree that it might be good to be able to cancel the function for off-road situations as mentioned. Perhaps an idea might be (if designers are listening?) to cancel the auto-on when the driver has switched it off, and stay cancelled for maybe 5 minutes. That way, you could get out of a tight spot between trees or when stuck in snow drifts without being beeped at incessantly, but it would re-enable itself so you didn't go through your garage wall when you got home.
However, going back to the original comment, when selecting reverse mine only beeps for perhaps 1/2 a second. Hardly an issue really.

Yes, indeed also my SE dash board witch deactivates both front and rear sensors.
I was wrong, probably heard other beeps which I couldn't locate thus allocated them to the rear sensors.[/quote]

Apologies, it should read the dash board "S"witch

Damn, Dave, reasonable point, I should check that, maybe the referee with the whistle still stucking in his throat ?
Or maybe the nasty neighbours dog - this little yiffiyiffiyiffi-monster - one annoying beep less then

I actually like that the thing mutes the radio. On my old car (Audi) the beeps were there but it wasn't muting the radio and I had to do it myself.

I think this one is better.

And yes if you parked to front it is annoying to start the car and ave a constant beep while backing out.

I had a rental 2010 VW Golf a few weeks ago and it would switch the stereo display to an aerial display with obstacle locations shown on it. It looks nice and I am sure is not as expensive as the camera mount systems. 2010 Freelander 2 Select TD4 auto....gone
