Yes I have one on my car. It's supposed to only beep if the knock detector on the engine picks up something. However yes sometimes my beeps when starting the car.

Do a search. There is a thread somewhere about re-wiring it to not beep when you start the car.

Dont worry....when you do have knock you WILL hear it. Its LOUD.

If you wire its +12 to an ACC port it wont beep as your cranking the car over. Like the radio.. it doesnt work as you crank over the motor.

I like hearing it at start up. Never heard mine for 2 years & wondered if it was working at times. I heard it when the HG Blew!!

I combined mine...

w/the gauge, but I found I didn't need the gauge any more. the audible was sufficient and it makes for one less gauge to look at.

The beep translates to: Take your f**ing foot out of it right now you idiot or you will be bending over your fenders changing the freaking gaskets again!"

Or something llike that.

Were trying to teach people to search.

Thanks for the input Julio. As always the man with many answers to many questions.

You need to wire it to IGN 3 socket in the fuse box only.

IGN 1 socket postions are hot when cranking in the fuse box.

Or you can tie it to a fuse that is only hot in run like the radio, relays fuse etc.

It's a low current device so it doesn't matter much where you add it.

I have mine wired right on the radio circuit and it still beeps when starting the car...it's usually after I let off the key. Sometimes there's a long beep. Other times nothing.
