back up warning
I am tired of this thing going off everytime i go into reverse!
when it is really freezing like 10degs out it goes off everytime i put it in reverse
when i wash the truck it is worse yet only has to be 30 deg
the 08 i could just hit the button on the dash
the 2011 i have to arrow down and hit ok but that is hard if you are turning the wheel backing up
Anyone else?

The only problems I am having with the backup chime is I can't hear it over the backup alarm 
and that it seems to have a rather large semi circle coverage. It picks up my garage side walls as I am backing out.

One thing my brother found out (2008 F350) is that these units can have moisture build up inside them. He was told that frost was causing his problem. I spoke to him yesterday and he told me that he found one unit that looked like moisture had gotten inside the unit.
When I get the energy, I will go look at mine and see if these units have a seal on them. Where there is a seal, there is a chance for a leak...

This is the only complaint I have as well. It comes and goes. I have gotten good at shutting the sound off.

With the basic info screen, it's very easy to turn off the sound so I don't mind.
I know the reset (down) button turns mine off and I think the setup (up) button does too.
Does anyone have a different vehicle with this system and does it do false alerts (such as a Honda if they have it)?

Would not really mess anything up, but would set a few DTC's...
