Beeping sound on cruise

**Kesh** · 08-07-2014, 07:56 PM

When I use cruise control, at random times, I can hear a very faint beeping sound. By faint I mean it's noy audible when there's music is playing, but annoying when there isn't music playing.

Anyone have the same issue? Quite bizarre I must say...

Is that with normal cruise control or ACC?

I noticed it too when using ACC, very faint beep which I haven't figured out yet.

Hopefully someone will have the answers.

Is it a beep or a click? I often hear relays when the ACC active.

Don't have ACC on my car, it's just a base model 90TSI. It's definitely beeping though, my friend though it might've been his phone in his bag. I'm still trying to isolate where it's coming from but I can't do much while I'm driving so I might get a friend to help me find out where it's coming from.

Never heard a faint beep with cruise control on in my base 90TSI. When I have speed limit set, it will beep loudly when it exceeds the limit set by about 5km/h.

How odd again, I don't get that speed alert.. Is this beep from the speakers or somewhere else?

You'll only get that beep if your're using the speed limit mode of the CC.

I got to the bottom of this beep on my mk6 R some time ago, it is the RDS:TP signal coming and going when you are driving away from the city and reception drops (thus TP channels potentially not being received). I too at first thought it was to do with CC because on long drives down the Hume you tend use CC, but of course city channel reception goes about 70km away also (and finally picked up the little TP indicator coming/going coinciding with the beep when in radio mode rather than map mode).

Given the MK6 navigation is hamstrung to not support the encrypted TP steam anyway, it is easy to disable and you won't be disturbed by the beep any more. But you will have to put up with it on the mk7 if you use traffic info for navigation(assuming this is the issue).

Oh okay, I don't have navigation but I do have TP enabled, I'll disable it now and see what happens. But the sound does go away immediately after I hit cancel as well.

Will see how it goes
