Exclamation side mirror warning lights

I have a 2025 ES350 F Sport. IS there a way to get the yellow flashing side mirror warning lights to BEEP when a car is either on your right side or left when you put on your directional singles? AM I MISSING SOMETHING?

I had a MB and it flashed BUT ALSO BEEPED when I turned on my directional singles IF A CAR WAS ON EITHER SIDE.

There are a few times I missed the beep (NO ACCIDENT) but I miss the BEEP.

Thoughts? Thanks

You’re not missing anything, there is no available sound indicator for the 7th gen ES blind spot monitor.

You gotta love AI:

AI Overview

On a Lexus ES350, if the Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) detects a vehicle in your blind spot, you'll receive an alert with a visual indicator (flashing light in the side mirror) and an audible warning tone.

Lol, AI summaries have been so wrong so often that I don’t feel they have much to offer now. Such a shame.

You can't turn off the Blind Spot Monitor. Toyota Avalon have that option but Lexus, no. Sorry!

I do NOT hear an AUDIBLE WARNING TONE. Is there a setting for this? OR I assume from others that responded, AI is wrong. hahaha

Yes AI was wrong (imagine that!?)
Unless someone can prove otherwise - who knows maybe you can use techstream or there is some other workaround to turn on audible beep.

Carista doesn't offer it as a setting for Gen 7ES.

My 2022 ES does make a warning sound in addition to the flashing.

Expanding on LeksioReksio's posting.

The Blind Spot Monitor can be turned off. The procedure for doing that can be found in the "Turning the Blind Spot Monitor on/off" section in the "4-5. Using the driving support systems" subchapter of every model year and model type version of the ES Owner's Manual.

Mine does it with comma3x and frogpilot, but uhh, that's probably more in depth than you're willing to go.

Google has a search page that ONLY returns AI results with no links. What could go wrong?
