Default Turning RPA off?

Any way to turn the ridiculously annoying beeping from the ReverseParkingAssist (I think that's what it stands for) off in my 2012 FX4? We have a 2013 Ram that can turn it off with just a button and it's always off, don't have to press it every start up. Wondering if there is an opinion I'm missing in my ford. I have reverse camera so I really don't need RPA on.

Unfortunately there is no way to turn it off. The only thing you can do is hit the ok button on the steering wheel each time.

I do wish I could turn the beep off but keep the camera on while working with a trailer. Man, it is annoying.

I might just find the fuse, provided its separate from everything else and pull it. Poor designing on Ford's part, should be an option that can be turned off, and turned on when the wife drives
I work in construction sites everyday. There is a lot of random cr** everywhere and a lot of reverse driving. The beeping drives me crazy. With the massive mirrors and camera, RPA is completely unnecessary.

I use them for when I back up to an object but could do without them when towing

I can shut it off in my 2010. I wonder why they changed that.
