Best way to disable rear parking sensors?

This might be a silly question but i want to completely disable the rear parking sensors on my 2005 RR Sport, what would be the easiest way to do this?

Thanks for any help!

Unplug the speaker in the rear.

The left side of the boot, behind the trim

Fronts should still work then Cool


Out of interest Why?

Thanks mate! sounds like the perfect solution! mines stuck on constantly whenever in reverse, was just looking for a quick fix to shut it up till next service when i'll have it fixed.

There's the button on the dash but that disables both front and rear.

That might be an easier option, i've only just took ownership a couple of days ago and it didn't come with an owners manual, where would the button be? sorry for the quite possibly stupid question haha.

Arh I see.

Yes if its just for a few days use the P> button the on dash.
In the middle of the dash, near the hazards (red button)

It even lights up/flashes red when on.


If its for a few weeks, you could also remove a 5A fuse behind the glovebox

Thanks for your help! just jumped in and found the button (feeling a bit dumb now haha), i don't think the previous owner knew about the button as he said he'd just been living with it for a few weeks since he had a towbar removed!

Can the iid tools be used on other RR's? Like can we just borrow someone elses?

I too have a faulty parking sensor, the noise it makes when you put it in reverse is mental lol
