Anyone figure out how to turn off seatbelt warning bell
Has anyone figured out how to do this yet. I drive w/ my seatbelt on. Typically I'm halfway down the street before I get it on and the bell is driving me nuts. It's actually pretty darn loud. If anyone has found a way to turn off the AUDIBLE please let us know. And please... no retarded flames about why would I want to turn off a valuable safety feature. Of course, having said that, the first reply is probably going to be one.

Please remember to use the forum search feature if you have a question -- chances are, someone else has had it, too. 
A quick search for "seatbelt alarm" here turned up this post with instructions for the Toyota Matrix, which the immediate followup post says worked on an IS250 as well. Good luck!

Im going to prove you wrong, and just answer the question the best I can. I am also interested in the same "mod' for the passenger side. i have friends that HATE to wear a belt, they are all adults and can decide wheter they want to live or die on thier own....having said that...
.....I would like to know if anyone has downloaded the schematic for that ? Unfortunatly in the time I had access to he techinfo site, I did not....all I was interested in the time was the NAV wiring....
....I believe it will just be a wire that we can send to ground to disable it.....

why wouldn't you just put your seatbelt on BEFORE you take off??? I'm sure that's much easier than trying to disable the electronics. It's not like takes any more than 1/2 a second to do.....

Here's the answer, I just tested it and it worked!

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.

The instructions for the Toyota Matrix works perfectly fine for the IS 250/350's. I turned them off weeks ago.
I turned mine off because I usually pull off my seatbelt once I turn into my development. And yes, please use the "Search" feature before posting. Like Cypren said, it's more than likely someone has already asked your question and someone has answered it.
Enjoy the silence.
Cheers,
Kermee

Just to note, one very legitimate reason you may wish to turn off a seatbelt warning bell is if, like me, you often set a heavy backpack or other such things in your passenger seat while driving. Anything over about 30 lbs. is heavy enough to trip the passenger weight sensors and, as the item shifts in the seat, continually trigger and release them, so the warning alarm never actually stops going off.

Between the answers to questions that were NOT asked and the "spelling police" a rather large % of the posts are a total waste of bandwidth.
The question was "how can I disable the seat belt chime" NOT should I strap an item down, or should I put my seatbelt on before I take off or should I learn how to spell....
