I guess so, hook it up to your stereo if its got a mic input.

nah, was more thinking like a frog croak, or a crickets chirp, or bird call, lol

Don't know how much power the circuit can put though it, Just go buy a spare one from the Honda wreckers, I got one for $45 ages ago. I might play around with my spare one and see what I can do with it, if I can find it in the garage with all my other junk.

wow really ?? you dont have to have an audiable warning device for reverse that im aware of

shit the diesel corrolla i drive every day only just got a radio let alone any other beeps and whistles

bmgjet · 17th February 2008, 05:51 PM

Didnt just fail on it, failed on other things as well but the tester mentioned that it needs to have a warning device for reverse. Im going to a new warrant on Tuesday, Ill try at another testing place with my disabled one and see if they mention it.

Heres a pic of it, Its on the left hand side behind the stereo you will need to take that out to get to the bolt, You may be able to just reach around and unplug the clip but I don't know if that effects the reverse lights or anything else.
