Bypassing the seatbelt warning?
Is there a known way to plug in a module or jump the wires to bypass this? It just too intrusive and I buckle up always unless i am just maneuvering around slowly.

The only way that I know of is techstream (or the scan tool off Amazon) which Lexus would not do for me. I’m taking it to a friend who is a higher up in Toyota and is going to take care of it for me.

have you tried just putting in a seatbelt buckle?
have an extra one and click it. Just in case there’s a need to do warranty job, electronics and all, you’re not messing with those. Probably cheaper as well.

I bought the Carista OBD 2 scanner and paid for 1 year subscription. I turned off the seatbelt chimes, one button windows and sunroof open. I turned off the ESE engine sound enhancement. Not sure if the LX pump fake V8 noise in through the speakers or not but I turned it off anyways because it was an option.

I’d be interested to know if the Carista module lets you program the headlights such that the fog/driving lights stay on when you select High Beams. Currently, they only stay on when you have the Low Beams selected.
The more light I throw out the better - lots of deer & elk to hit around here. I’ve been able to reprogram my 2019 Ford F-350 to do this via another software package and looking to do the same with my 2024 LX F Sport.
