With the Carista App or dealer.

Dealer most likely won't do it due to liability and safety issue.

I'll visit the dealer to have my LPS settings done and will mention to them to disable the seatbelt buzzer.

I would recommend the Carista app. Gives you simple access to every car setting available. Change them as you please. Works perfect.

+1 Safety first.
Carista works great for little things like that!

Yes u'll also need this OBD2 Bluetooth adapter. Then u'll have a personal diagnostic tool cause the app can check for error lights too.

Pulled a code on my Accord last time for cylinder misfiring, reset it and traded it in.

Not true. My dealer did it no questions asked. Didn't have to sign a waiver or anything.

Maybe other States are different but here in Cali they won't even disable DRL even though it says it's possible in the manual and have to pay top $$$. So many regulations here.

Not wearing a seat belt is an excellent way to become a human flying projectile inside the vehicle and likely being ejected from the car.

Newton's laws of motion
1st: A body will stay in motion or continue to move at uniform speed in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force.
2nd: The force that acts on a body is directly proportional to the rate at which that body is accelerating. The constant of proportionality is the body's mass, therefore mathematically, F = M x A, where F is the force acting on the body, M is its mass, and A is its acceleration.
3rd: To every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.


Nothing like being needlessly stupid and a possible organ donor at a young age...

On this subject, I could use some advice.

I have a Series 4 GS and also a 1998 Series 2 GS.

What hardware and iPhone application should I get to get into the settings on my vehicles?

U will still get the blinking seatbelt light even if u disable the chime when ur not wearing it.

iPhones need a WiFi OBD2 dongle while Android uses Bluetooth.

Quick correction: as of about a month ago, we (Carista) have our own OBD adapter, which is compatible with both Android and iOS. It uses Bluetooth 4.0 LE, which is supported by both platforms and it's guaranteed to work with all features of Carista (unlike many generic adapters that only support a subset of the ELM327 standard and therefore cannot do Lexus customizations). If you want to get a generic adapter, then what ItzFilyO said is correct.

Check out our hardware page for more info: http://www.caristaapp.com/hardware/

Also note that Carista supports customizations on the 4GS, but not the 2GS.

Oh, and yeah, we recommend you drive with your seat belt on at all times

I own both the Carista adapter and software. Works intuitively and gives you diagnostics too. What I especially like is that the adapter works with both Android and iOS. I don't think any other can give you that flexibility.

Wow that adapter is nice and the packaging is so Apple like. But it's so expensive.
