Icon Backup Absurdly Loud Alarm
New I40L adore it, in comparison to my Precedent 100 percent smoother.
Any idea how to eliminate the back up warning beep? Offensive! |

Re: Icon Backup Absurdly Loud Alarm
So I took delivery of my new i40L two days ago and honestly I was embarrassed when the delivery guy backed the cart off the trailer. So I stuffed some paper towels up into the bell of the horn and criss-crosseed two pieces of duct tape to secure it. While the noise didn't go away it definitely calmed down the offensiveness. Hope this helps.

Re: Icon Backup Absurdly Loud Alarm
I disconnected my horn and connected it to one of these backup cameras ($36), so now when I backup my cart, instead of noise I have a nice camera that shows everything. When I put in FWD, the camera turns off.
For my I60L it's necessary for tight parking. |

Re: Icon Backup Absurdly Loud Alarm
I would never disconnect a safety feature. Could you imagine backing up into someone by accident. The field day they would have finding out a factory safety feature was purposefully disconnected. Yikes...
Not to mention there is always the chance of getting into the cart and thinking it is in forward and its actually in reverse or vice versa....Much better to cover it to muffle enough so it can be heard but not ear piercing. |

Backup beepers are usually an OSHA requirement for vehicles with an obstructed rear view or for vehicles of a certain class/size, but primarily obstructed view. Furthermore, they are often considered noise pollution and there are organized groups that work to ban them. So I think it's a personal preference. It almost certainly would not impact your insurance rates or your liability in an accident. Unless your state has some bizarre golf-cart backup beeper requirement, which it may very well have. I don't know the laws in every state around golf carts. |

Re: Icon Backup Absurdly Loud Alarm
Disconnected my backup horn after backing up out of my driveway later in the evening and having 2 neighbors come out wondering what all the noise was about.
