Anyone find out how to turn off the seatbelt chime? - Page 3 - Toyota Yaris Forums

JosephDoc · 06-10-2007, 10:17 PM

After a few weeks of having the car, I decided to do something about the chime and blet warnning light(s). I just reach up to here and I guess I can't domething simple without the scanner.

So... me go from this face,

, to this face

.
I took off the passenger seatblet/airbag lights (the bracket next to stereo unit) and taped up the the LEDS circuit. I took out the dash meter and taped up the driver belt's light by taped up the light channel behind the fascias. The chime is right behind the dash meter assembly and looks like a pc speaker. I taped it also just wish the beeps wont be as loud.

All those took only 30 mins and I am happy now. The beeps are not as bad but I wish I had the pc-spk ripped out when was all apart. I will try to live with 2mins beeps and see how it goes.

My 6 pound dog sets of the darned dinger in the passenger seat. I guess I'll just buckle the seat belt and hope it's not too annoying for her. For me, though, I am going to either find a dealer stupid enough to disable it, or do the switch mod.

After all, I live in New Hampshire. We are the only state in the U.S. where you do not have to wear your seatbelt if your over 18. When I leave our backwoods town i do wear it, but around town, I choose not too.

I found out how to disable all seatbelt chimes (permanently)! Just disconnect or remove the SRS airbag ecu :)

I had the dealer do mine. Be persistant!. I had to threatend the salesman with a piss poor review unless he got it done. Ask the service advisor why would you get oil changes here if they wouldn't do this one simple thing for you.

just buckle the seat belt and leave that way. It does not cause problems to anything on the front seat. You can move the seat up and bring strap behind the seat to buckle, it is long enough. Easy solution.

That works for the passenger side, however, the drivers side is another issue. Today for example I started the car without the seat belt and heard 5 beeps. I got out to scrape the frost off the windows. When I got back in silence! I was 3 houses down the block before I put the seat belt on with no excessive beeping. When I got out with the car running to drop off a rented DVD 3 feet from the car no noise. When I got back in no noise. Having the seat belt alarm turned off was one of the best things I have done to the Yasis.

Do you have suicidal tendencies?

Just put your damn seatbelt on!!!!! Vehicular ejection hurts.

As stated many times already, hes not saying he doesn't want to wear it, just disable it so that when he keeps bags, books etc on the passenger seat the alarm doesn't go off.
