Thin beeping sound when shifted in reverse?
Hi, everybody -
After 1000 miles on the 2004 TL I've started to hear a thin high-pitched beeping sound coming from the rear speaker in a constant "short-long" pattern all the time while AT is shited in "reverse" position. I do have backup sensors installed but this beeping is at lower volume and higher pitch than sounds generated by backup sensors and continue as long as a stick is in reverse position. I realize that this is maybe just how things are supposed to be - to indicate that the stick is in "reverse" - and I maybe just enjoyed excellent audio too often to notice
- But I'm still would like to have a confirmation that this is always like that and that the car doesn't suddenly trying to tell me something new I need to know (Yes, I did RTFM - but probably missed the answer)
Thanks in advance - I appreciate your feedback!

I just wanted to make sure that nobody else is hearing this - with or w/o sensors - before I call a dealer.
From the lack of of "yes/no" responses I should, probably, deduce that nobody does - so it's time to call a dealer, then. I'll let you know if I learn something about that...Thanks, everybody!... Keep on a great TL-community work!
