I got my first shift beep at lunch today - came out of a turn in 2nd and had a truck that wouldn't move. Changed lanes, gunned it, and BEEEEEEEEP... pretty instant guide to shift. Instantly smiled thereafter...

I have had lots of fun trying to make it beep but have never heard it . Have looked at my radio/ CD controls to see if I could do the trick suggested a few posts back but my controls are different . Found something saying "AudioPLT on/off " wonder if that is it ????
I WANT A BEEEEP !!!!

That said it will not change the shift beep, only the sound system beep. I disabled the sound system beep and the rev beep is still loud and clear. If your rev beep is not working see your dealer for repair.

if you don't beep it every once in a while your not enjoying your 8.i see my 8 as need to be driven with a firm foot in the pants and a good eye on the road the rest....priceless!!! the first time i heard that beep was when a ricer tried to cut me off and failed.just walked away with that big ole smile of comfort!

I hit it in first and second last night, and it had been a while since the last time. The moment I heard the beep it honestly made me happier, and I specifically thought about it afterwards. Great time to revive this thread!

I'm still breaking in my car and have finally gotten to the point of redlining it, I think twice now. Excellent!
I find the beep annoying, but you know, one of those things. I don't think it beeps at redline, though. It seemed to me to beep around 8500, warning you that
a) you are approaching redline
b) shift here because you are running out of both torque and HP - the dyno curves I've seen show a pretty steep drop off in power at around this area, but I haven't exactly done a search =)

My first time hearing the beep was at a stoplight where the right lane ended shortly after the intersection. A mustang pulled next to me in the right lane. He tried to accelerate faster than me to get over in frount of me. He ended up pulling in behind me.
