I have a 2014 F350 Diesel When your backing up and getting close to something it strats to sound witch is good. When backing up with a Tr. How can stop the beap, the 05 Ford that I had, had a shut off switch witch was good. I've look in the ford book but no luck. I have seen it come up on the display in but don't know how it happen. Can anyone help....

Sure would be nice to be able to shut it off, I have not had any luck asking everybody I know. I hope you can get it answered.

if the sound is INSIDE the cab, then it should turn off backup warning when you plug the trailer in. works on my 12. my 08 did not have thisthis auto shutoff only works for trailers with electric brakes. I know you can manually bring up the panel to enable/disable the backup sensor warning.. just don't remember how to get there without walking out to my truckif the warning is OUTSIDE the cab, it does NOT turn off when the trailer is attached, and there is no manual on/off switch (to prevent you from disabling if u are supposed to have it). you would have to add this switch yourself. I haven't seen anyone do this.. maybe asking in the Ford-trucks.com/forums/forum205 (6.7 superduty, 2011 and up) would find some help.

When you shift into reverse, a message should be displayed under your speedometer that says parking aid "on". If you use the toggle switches on your steering wheel, left side, you can change it to "off". It will then quit squealing and beeping. The next time you back up, you will have to do it again. That's the way it is on our 2015 F250 6.7L.

On my 2014 f 150, it also uses the toggles on the left side of the steering wheel to turn off back up sensors. It stays off till the next time I start the truck, regardless of what trailer I am towing, or even if I leave the weight distributing head in.

I had no idea it worked that way.As far as shutting it off (when my tailgaite is down to hookup), it pops up on the dash and you select off on the steering wheel controls. If you don't have the electronic dash, I'm not sure.

In the set up for the truck you can turn off the parking aid.

Like most others, my 2013 F350 pops up the message every time I go into reverse, use the steering wheel control to turn it off.

To turn mine off-temporarily, as when I have the tailgate down backing up into the fiver, I hit the reset button which shuts it up, until the next time you start it up

On mine, the message has never failed to pop up when I shift to reverse. As mentioned above, you can turn it off or on from the menu.

Go into the system apps menu and choose to turn the parking aid on.

That's the way it is on our 2015 F250 6.7L.

X3 Same with my '11 F-450.
