Backup alarm - JDM car
When I engage reverse I have a backup beeper that sounds inside the car.
Is this a standard feature in JDM cars?

We in NZ have had several small children run over by an SUV driven by family member and in their own driveway. Terrible accident and a reversing horn is a good idea.

Same with my '95 JDM, it is only audible inside there is no "beeping" outside.

Yes. JDM cars have a beeper inside the cabin to remind you that it is in reverse. It's not audible outside the car.

Is it possible that an outside beeper has been removed? Mine has neither. Downward facing mirrors outside the rear window are common on Japanese vans and SUV's imported second hand and are a valuable item. Cheers, Trevor.

No. All JDM SVXs have the internal beeper. I've never seen one with an external beeper. I want one of those mirrors for my Legacy Estate, but I can't see any easy way to fit one. Maybe I'll get one of those radar sensors instead.

Mine only beeps inside as well.
