  Comments:
I heard it in a TV show airing as ビップ, so was wondering if this pronunciation is more common nowadays, but my attempt at researching was inconclusive. The kokugos prefer ブイアイピー, having ビップ as a redirect. Forvo has the pronunciation as individual letters, while Youglish only has four samples, not enough to base a conclusion on (1 ブイアイピー; 2 ビップ; 1 duplicate video). Probably the most that can be said unless the refs change is that the more formal pronunciation is ブイアイピー, but ビップ is also common.

[btw, the eigobu source claims there's a slang sense meaning "to ride in a back seat of a car although the passenger seat is available"]

Always written "VIP" but pronounced in two different ways. Not sure which is more popular nowadays.
