Hi All,

Has anyone had the opportunity to physically locate where they have the pedestrian safety speaker that takes care of low speed artificial sound and back up beeper? I have a delete mechanism currently installed on my PowerBoost and I intend on moving it over to the Lightning (currently in production) when it arrives. The ICE trucks have it located near the lower rad support up front, but I'm curious if they've moved it due to component changes on the Lightning platform. The speaker isn't legally required in Canada and being able to silently pull out of the driveway without waking the neighbors early morning is a wonderful touch on my truck now. I'm eager to get eyes on things and see where it is.

Any help from those that already have their truck is appreciated!

I think it's worth mentioning. Even though it isn't required in Canada (yet), the fact that a Canadian plate is on the vehicle doesn't exempt you if you are driving in the US. You will be breaking the law and taking a risk if you encounter a cop that knows his stuff. There is an other thread on here talking about that speaker as well and mentions that if you unplug it it fires off an error code on your display.

Reverse beeping like a forklift

So we got the f150 last night and this morning at 4am when my wife heads to work (truck is her car) I could hear back up beeping through the walls of the house. Is it there a button to turn this off or reduce volume? Googling says probably not as its not unique to lightnings, the hybrid f150s...

I’ll take my chances on the off chance I drive it to the states and do something dumb enough to have a cop stop me and write me up for something so incredibly trivial…. In the meantime, I want to reverse in peace and quiet in the great white North!

Speakers can sometimes be muted/muffled with liberal application of duct tape.

I have no fork lift beeping on mine. Not sure what ford did to disable them on Canadian models.

I guess I better not cross the border. I wonder if our police ticket Americans coming here with no front license plate.

I don't know about that but I have a friend from. Detroit who got a ticket for not having DRLs on. Was $250!

I would have thought that law would have been amended to take in account all of the safety technology that avoids vehicles from colliding with pedestrians. Seems even safer than a vehicle that relies on beeping alone if a pedestrian has ear buds in.

It’s pretty much in the same location as the ice version, however easier to get to because there isn’ta big ol radiator in the way

I would just use spray foam to disable the speaker from making noise, same as the back up speaker, etc.!
