THE WAY TO DO IT IS TO BREAK THE SENSOR. DONT ADVISE IT. JUST PUT IT , better than getting killed or at least getting a ticket

do a little search, i remember reading a DIY for it

I really rather not get into the whole political debate about seat belts saving lives (I know they do mostly, but I don't like being harassed about it by an annoying chime). That to me breaks my consitiutional rights.

Lets get to the real thing- I guess 55mph also save lives, right??? What a joke! Any way, I appreciate the look and response. Many thanks. I've seen a lot

That would be nice to know how to disable the chime. It really is annoying, I have to drive every day in the garage 5Km/h just exactly as long as it needs to start chiming then open the door, get our and get in again. it would save me about 1000 times a year of pointless seat belt using.

I got in a roll over accident and didn't have my seatbelt on and that is what saved me if I had it on would of got messed up, cops on the scene asked me if I was wearing it, I replied "I always wear it" he looked at me funny but didn't say anything. So my point is seatbelts are like girlfriends sometimes ANNOYING

See if the passenger side seatbelt will reach and click it in the driver's side
