GR Yaris (Gen 2) Bings and bongs

[JohnL]

I am considering changing my 5 year old GR Yaris Gen 1 for a new Gen 2 Aero car. Whilst the Gen 1 has some annoying safety features, they are easily disabled with the initial finger dance familiar to many here and the warning for going over a speed limit is a simple change of colour on the speed limit symbol with no audio. Is the Gen 2 the same or is there an annoying audio beep every time the speed limit changes and continuous beeping whilst above the detected limit? Any other less obvious disadvantages that I should be aware of if I change?

Yup. European law since July 24 for all newly registered cars. But search here for btech in CH, they have a great solution.

I can confirm it works well

Daily’d a Gen 1 for 3 years and moved to a new Gen 2 in March this year. Everything can be disabled on the Gen 2 but just requires a few more button presses over the Gen 1 as it’s all done in Settings menu in the digital dash. Upon start-up, if you don’t disable, the speed limit symbol blinks continuously when above speed limit, it also emits 3 fairly quiet bongs. It doesn’t bong continuously though and only does it again when dropping below limit and exceeding it again. There are different degrees of disabling it. If you disable it completely, it leaves an off symbol on the dash display. But if you just disable the “above speed limit” option, the off symbol disappears again. It doesn’t bong and doesn’t flash continuously so you can basically have it the same as Gen 1. That’s the MY26 models anyway. The new order MY27 models might be different!
