    I bought the 2009 F430, five months ago and until today it hadn’t made a sound.
    On my way to lunch it started beeping and squeaking. It’s really irritating.
    Anyone know how to turn it off?

    Forgot to mention, it’s built into the rear view mirror. Two buttons on the bottom of the mirror housing, and a recessed hole to the left of the buttons.

    Thanks Bob, I just talked to them. They said there’s an on-off switch somewhere. Apparent the radar mirror was installed by someone besides Ferrari.

    Lol, guess you need to start your search, bottom side of the dash, under the steering wheel housing. If all else fails take the car to your local car stereo shop and have them find it.

    On the other hand, if you figure out how it works, a radar detector is handy to have...
