Disable 2025 Hybrid External Speaker?

[Jpalmer1]

I would like to disable the external speaker noises for deer season. Anyone know if Forscan can do it?

I don’t believe Forscan can directly disable it but you can use it to disregard the warning you'll get on the dash. You can unplug the controlling module inside however, I don’t know where it is on current Hybrids. I think under the passenger side dash but not for certain

Ford may take issue with you disabling a mandated safety device. Plus
There are federal regulations in the US concerning the noise emitted by electric and hybrid vehicles, and disconnecting or altering the noise device could be a violation

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has established minimum sound requirements for hybrid and electric vehicles (HEVs) to ensure they are audible at low speeds.

These vehicles must make an audible noise when traveling at speeds of 19 mph or less, or when backing up at any speed.

Disabling or altering the factory-installed noise device could be a violation of these regulations.

I don't believe there are exceptions for deer season.

Good luck.

Have you not heard that there's a HORSE in the HOSPITAL? Anything is possible now!

Planning on shooting them from the vehicle illegally?

What did you do before when driving an ICE vehicle?

Do that.

Well - unless it's that shooting from the window thing

The OP was probably asking for a friend.

It's federally mandated for all (P)(H)EV's. You wouldn't want the liability if you backed into someone (or they contact you) and it wasn't working.

You might reach out to them to see if it is compatible with the 25's.

I don't think "Police mode" is what you want.
Maybe park 2 miles from deer blind and hike uphill both ways. A golf cart might work. Also an EBike with a side car for the deer is also possible.

Have your mode in sport , as long as the engine is running it won’t beep

Thank You all for some important information, some good ideas, and some opinions, which are valuable even if I don’t agree with them!

Hope you don't get caught by those plastic deer in the field by the road
