Yes they do have one, but lots of people disconnect them. There's loads on here if you do a search 8)

Does your bongo beep when put in reverse, and when you leave your keys in, if not its probably been unplugged, its under the panel at the side of your right leg at the side of the door its either a blue or green box depending on the bongo.

drop the little cover under the steering wheel. just to the left you will find a white connection block, right near to a bigger block connection. think theres only 2 wires going to it. unplug that and you will still have lights on bleep, but not the one that bleeps with the keys in and door open. reverse bleep will only work with the lights on.
hope that helps in a vague way.

I got no problems with the beeps.. :-k But i had thought about fitting a latching switch in-line to disable it, cuz they don't half spoil the peace on a campsite!! #-o

Out of respect, i like to keep the noise to a minimum when pitching up at a funeral too! :wink:

All i did was cut the white wire on the connector at the side of the door, no beeps for keys, everything else works.
