This mod is useful whether or not you've done the original power door mod. To recap, the original mod allows you to open the power door when out of park and under 3mph. This new mod simply silences the infernal beeping, such as when you press the open button while the door is closing or when two people try to open the door simultaneously.
Why the Honda engineers thought it desirable to make the door beep so much is beyond me. I mean, when you do any of these things, the door stops. That's obvious enough for me. I don't need beeping (and really LOUD beeping at that) to tell me what is self-evident.
The steps are:
1. Remove left rear panel. This is the lengthiest step because you have to do things like unbolt two seat belts and take off the left rear speaker and grill before you can get the panel off.
2. Peel back upper right corner of weatherstripping.
3. Unplug connector to speaker and tie down to prevent rattles. (Or just cut the damn thing off if you're in a bad mood.)
3.5 (optional) Remove speaker entirely, light on fire.
4. Undo steps 2 and 1.
Here's a pic stolen from the backup camera mod where this mod was accidentally discovered. The red arrow points to the speaker that is responsible for doing the beeping. The connector is next to it.
