Wow, some usefull information. I can't wait to try this out.
At first I thought this was a silly post, until I took my dog to the vet. The alarm kept going off, so I had to pull over and buckle the seatbelt behind her. Then she kept getting all tangled up with the belt. I guess the safety gurus at Lexus didn't think about dogs.

PUSH THE BUTTON ON THE SEATBELT BUCKLE. simple solution, ill bet it goes away. if not, you get a cookie
and dont feel stupid if ti does go away...cause it took me a few weeks to figure out how to stop it.
when it dings, push the button and then it shouldnt do it again for the rest fo the time the car is on.

Now if only we can have some of our Japanese fellows find the sequence for disabling VDIM on one of the JDM cars such as the Crown and Mark X which have been around much longer than the GS430 many IS350 owners here will be happy too.

5. turn the key to the ON position again press the start button twice. when the dash lights comes on, press and hold the trip reset button and count a slow 12 seconds. (editor's note, hold it more like 30 sec)
6. while still holding the trip reset button, buckle the driver's side seatbelt.
7.and the odometer display should read "b ON" or "b OFF". toggle the beep OFF with the trip reset.
8. the process should be completed when you unbuckle or turn the key off.

seatbelt hack for 07 IS350 models
Has anyone been able to do the seatbelt hack on 07 IS350 models? I've tried a bunch of times and I just can't seem to get it to work. If anyone else has done it, then I must be doing it wrong or something...
Thanks!
Thanks!
