Let me preface my post by saying that I always use my seat belt when I'm going somewhere; I just automatically put it on. That said, I bought a new Crosstrek early this year, so far so good, I like it though I've not used it all that much. Just getting to where it needs the first oil change (free from the dealer). There is one thing I'd like them to change, but I'm told that they cannot (legally). We live at the very end of a private lane that's a bit over 1/3 mile long and our mail box is out by the highway. Because of how it's mounted I really cannot reach the mail without getting out of the car. After I do that I find it a major PITA to refasten my seat belt, but, of course, if I don't I get to hear that obnoxious warning chime. I know this can be shut off. From reading the manual it appears that in the ones sold outside of the U.S. this setting is accessible via the touch screen. Both the dealer and an independent shop I trust tells me it's illegal for them to change it. I have a couple interrelated questions about this: 1) Does anyone know if, regardless of the legalities, the scanners available to either the dealers or the after market repair shops provides access to this setting? 2) Can anyone point me to some sort of hack sight that has a means of a DIY project to get into this level of the configuration? Thanks in advance. DAve P
