First off, as an anti-flame, I always wear my seatbelt, no matter what, seriously.

But, I hate the passenger seat warning bell!!

I hate having to listen that that thing go on and on and on when someone new gets into my car and doesn't realize that they have to put the belt on in the first 5 seconds they sit down. I hate how a gallon of milk sets it off!! The pressure sensor seriously has to be set at 5 lbs. Which is rediculous. My dog sets it off, she weighs 30lbs. I absolutely hate that thing. It needs to be eliminated!!!!!

Anyone else feel that same???

I hate the annoying alarm sound as well so I had mine disabled. I always wear a seatbelt and I always make my passengers wear their seltbelts before I shift to D. Just read the FAQs. It's easy to follow instructions.

Believe it or not, the sensor does pick up the lightest items. The other day I had my laptop on the passenger seat and it started beeping. So I finally went through the steps to disable the warning. It's definitely easy to do.

I usually tell my passenger to put on their seat belt soon or the constant dinging will trigger the car to blow up. =)

Hahaha.

the directions are hilarious. it's like: turn the car on. but leave it off. put it in park. drive 5 feet. stop. drive 6 ft backwards. turn your wheels right to lockout. do achinese fire drill then get in the passengers side. climb over the console. push the brake 5 times. push the gas 4 times. play your favorite song over the radio. say a hail mary. climb into a radio flyer. have you best friend's roommate push you down the biggest hill in town. then go back into your car and drive away without buckling the belts.

I am going to need assistance for this.
hahah.

Um..yeah, the process goes something like that LOL. Ok not really, but I am with ya. It's important to wear your seat belt, but that damn DING DING DING is annoying.

I turned the beep off. I was unaware that there was a trip for it. Soooo sweet.


But I always wear my seatbelt, and make all my passengers wear theirs too. EVEN WITHOUT THE DINGING!!

LOL. Beagles come in different sizes I think? Kinda like poodles (tiny or standard).

There are 2 types according to the AKC. Less then 13" and between 13" and 15". Though they get bigger then that, mine is about 14". If you saw the beagle that won at the Westminster dog show, mine girl is about the same size. If you want to see overweight check this out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Beagle_745.jpg
