Before I built these I tried all sorts of different ways to kill the alarm. You can turn it off after you start, but it reinitializes when you shut off the engine. My camper plugs into the 7-pin connector, truck says trailer is attached, but the pesky alarms will be on by default unless you go thru the info display and turn it off. Never remembered until I shifted into reverse. Truck manual is explicit re not being able to disable other than via Info. Sigh.
Anyhow, there are easier ways to absorb the sound, but I wanted to play in the shop anyway and these (assuming they don't drop into a puddle somewhere en route to Alaska) don't need glue, tape, etc. Fun project-- YMMV :-)
