How to stop seatbelt chime????????


Recommended Posts

I have a 2009 Impreza Outback Sport and was wondering if there was anyway to silence the seatbelt chime that comes on whenever you have your seatbelt off above 5mph. Any help would be appreciated. (this occurs for the driver and passenger)

try this procedure... I dug it out of NASIOC

 

Step 1. Sit in the driver's seat and close the door.

 

Step 2. Insert the key in the ignition and turn to the "on" position (but do not start the engine).

 

Step 3. Fasten and unfasten the seat belt 20 times within 30 seconds. Then, within 10 seconds, open and close the driver's door.

 

Step 4. The chime will sound when you start the car, but it will not repeatedly sound if the seat belt is not fastened.

Tried it on an 06 Impreza today without success but it could be because when I got in the car she just HAD TO HAVE THE OTHER DOOR UNLOCKED she couldn't WAIT until I did the 30 second precedure.

 

Anyone have a woman like that?

 

How long did you keep her around?

 

It's her car - I'm the one that doesn't wear the seatbelt and her son is too large for it to fit around.

 

I didn't have the patience to try it again today.

 

So I'd be curious on what years/models it works on.

My wife is brunette and in her 50's and it worked fine on her car.

Hey! I just tried this on my 2006 Outback and it works! Amazing! What I'd like to know is if this was intentional design by the folks at Subaru or if it was a more or less accidental hack that someone stumbled onto?
