Audio feedback for Blind-spot monitoring

PNW-sub · Nov 25, 2019

2019 2.5 Limited question -
Is it possible to turn on Audio feedback (beeping) for blind-spot monitoring when there is a vehicle in the blind spot, and the turn signal has been activated? Instead of just flashing the yellow BSM indicator faster? This is a feature available in other vehicles and has proven very useful.
Also, the rear cross-traffic alert mechanism does provide audio feedback, so I'm wondering why BSM doesn't use it too?

To my knowledge OB doesn’t do blind spot beep in 17-18. No idea if beep is in 19 .

Beyond me why Subaru will not do beep in their blind spot monitors .

I think there are enough beeps already. I'm not going to change lanes without looking at the mirror anyway so the lights are enough for me.

It does beep if you try to change lanes when the light is on.

It also does it if you try to change lanes when the light is off.

This discussion has come up in the past. The answer is no, you can't turn it on, and they designed it that way on purpose.

In a large volume traffic town (such as Dallas), the darned thing would be beeping ALL the time. And then you'd have people complain that it was beeping, and how can you turn that annoying beep OFF. (It's also not been that useful, when compared to people actually turning their heads and looking at the visual indicator, which is what you're supposed to do anyway.)
