Disable seat belt chime?

[Jimbo]

More than once I've been on the phone while starting my car, and the damn seat belt chime just about deafens the person that I'm talking to. I looked in my manual, and it alludes to the ability to disable the seatbelt chime - but provides no instruction as to how to do this.

Anyone done this? Feel like sharing the secret?

I hate doing this out loud, so I'm sending a PM.

The best way it to buckle your seat belt. CLICK IT OR TICKET!

+1... althought I did it to the 2006 2.5i wagon I sold to Runnah

just wear the damn thing. you'll be glad you did.

Hmm, I seem to have been a bit misunderstood. I wear the seatbelt religiously, and make anyone in my car do the same. That said, the effing chime is not only unnecessary (as I don't need the reminder), but it's downright painful to those I'm on the phone with.

I got the 411 on the clicky trick, and will try that when I leave work today. News at 11.

Oh, I didn't mean the warning to you. I caught what you said, that's why I sent you the PM. The reason I didn't type it was I didn't want non-seatbelt wearing people to see it.
