You can have the dealership turn off that annoying beep when you dont buckle your seat belt.

This only applies to dealers with more than 2 functioning brain cells.

So, in other words, none of them...

Thanks heaps for the tips, i'm going to spend some quality time with my yaris right now...
my tip, and i'm sure you all know this one: put your warm bottle of water or drink in the holder next to the steering wheel and put the air con on cool and angle the vents at the bottle and voila! ice cold drinks again!!

Hah! I have been doing that for a while! Quite amazing how cold a bottle of water will get!

My Secret: You can buy a Yaris with your gas money from a Nissan Xterra!

Yes, I know we should all wear our seatbelts, and I do (95% of the time), but can someone tell me if the buckle has some sensor in it or can I get a buckle from the junk yard to plug in and stop the sound? If there is a sensor, how can I remove the buckle from the belt?

Check your Seat belt Latch (the one with the red button to release the Seat belt clip)....

There should be a connector attached to it somewhere - may have to unscrew the latch using a wrench to find it....

Disconnect the connector.... and no more Seat belt Beep....

I had to remove my Seatbelts to make way for a 4pt Racing harness

Same here! I use mine ALL the time, but one annoying thing is when I stop at my mail box, and then drive the 1 1/2 miles to my house on a dirt road at 30 mph, and I have to put the damn seat belt on or wait for it to quit beeping!

There are guides about this if you search around. Long story short, you can either get a spare buckle and plug it in there, use a resistor to trick the sensor, or get lucky and ask someone at your local dealership to disable it using a scantool.

it beeps 70 times before it get quiet....and usually 1 gallon of milk is not enough but 2 will make it beep! Ohh and a crate full of quarts of paint as well...!!

You can buy dummy plugs for when you don't want the belts. I got 2 of them and connected them together but apart. That way they will be harder to loose.

Which dealership? Mine won't as "it deactivates a safety device" I guess they feel that in the event of an accident that we could sue them for turning it off even though we asked for it to be turned off.

Or you could do the smart thing and buckle up your seatbelt. :)

Unless he's referring to the annoying-ness of the passenger beep... which I find is always going off when i put something heavy in the front seat. Ugh. Or even when i sometimes lean on (put pressure on it) when driving (if im adjusting myself or something, etc)

Yeah, that drives me crazy. The passenger seat used to be my space of choice for carrying milk home from the grocery store; now, not so much.
