The sensor ringing drives me nuts, does anyone have any tricks to turning it off? I'm not sure if this is a Canada only sensor but as long as someone is sitting in either front seat without the seat belt on, the f$#@ing thing rings non stop. Does anyone know how to disable the ringing?
Please no smart ass answers like wear the seat belt, even if I have to back the thing up and take my belt off, it's ringing

THere is a fix, it requires taking apart the buckle. Do a search, there is detailed instructions.
I agree by the way that the nanny chime is a pain in the ass.

Go the a car wreck and get a counter piece!
This will silence the bell.
But guys, you really should use the seatbelts, they are the best protection in the car.
The airbags doesn't do the job!

Take off the front seat leather cover and remove the seat sensor. That will remove the sound for good...

Well, just put on your seat belt...
I don't want my insurance to go up because you have an accident and sustain severe injuries that could have been avoided by wearing a seatbelt.
One block from us, we just had 3 kids killed in a car accident. They were not wearing seat belts.
Sorry, just venting.
