1. turn the key to the ON position which means pressing the start button twice on the new IS since it doesn't has the key, foot off the brake
2. Press the trip reset button couple of times until the ODO is displayed (not trip A or B)
3. turn the ignition to the LOCK (OFF) position
4. unbuckle the driver's seatbelt if it was buckled.
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.

^^^^ From the Sticky FAQ

How do you do step #3 on the IS? Simply press the start button once?

Technically if you're trip button is already set to the odometer, step 1-3 is not needed.

I was finally able to get this to work. I wasn't holding it down for those whole 30 seconds. I was more or less holding it down for 12 seconds which did not work for me.

Thanks

The only side effect is lack of annoyance from the buzzing

You just need to hold it longer, my friend had the same problem, but I did it for him, and now it's fine.

I don't get why this hack is useful. Why would you NOT want to wear your seatbelt if you are driving?

I like the ring becasue it forces my passengers to buckle their seatbelts.
