05 Reverse Sensing System

I'm looking into getting a 05 350 and have a question about the reverse sensing system.

On my 03 Expedition the system is on all the time. I have the option to turn it off every time I put the truck into reverse. But if I disable it, go do drive, then reverse, it's back on again.

On the Super Duties is there a way to disable the backup system for either the entire time the truck is running that time, or turn it off all together?

Every time you back up you have to turn it off by hitting the button on the dash, maybe you can order one w/o it though. I love it on my lifted '04

just my .02

does pulling the fuse work or is it connected with other accessories?

I want to be able to do the same thing for when I have my 5er on. Especially when parking as you are puting in in drive and reverse over a short period.

I believe the reverse sensor control unit, which contains the speaker too, is behind the passenger side kick panel. The theory is that you could splice a switch into one of the wires that connects to the speaker, but I've not heard from anyone who has actually done that.
