brad21 Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 Okay, before you go jumping to conclusions, I always wear my seatbelt. I just don't need big brother telling me so. So, does anyone know how to disconnect it or which fuse to pull?? :o Brad 05 GT Wagon, White Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenonk Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 ummm, you need a resistor and put inline with the sensor buckle.. still working on what the amount of ohms it needs to make it work properly.. same idea as a CEL fix for the O2 sensor, or AIR BAG SRS setup on a WRX when swapping with new steering wheel or new racing seats.

WRXTom Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 This reminds me to check with the service department at my dealer. The manual says that the dealer can change the programming to turn it off. When I bought the car 2 months ago the dealer did not know how to do it (1st Legacy they had sold). The car has been out for a while so dealers should have the updates from Subaru. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeLoo Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 That is so annoying especially for me and my wife who always wear our seatbelt but sometimes we don't buckle it fast enough to beat the annoying whistle. I'd get rid of the whistle as I long as I can still see the red indicator on the dashboard that front passengers are not wearing their seatbelt. Plus my garage door is manual so I have to get in and out of the car to park in and backout of the garage (and obviously not wearing my seatbelt for that) so I'm doomed to always hear that irritating whistle. 2005 Legacy GT Wagon Ltd 5EAT Garnet Red 1999 GTI VR6 Black - sold but not forgotten...

05LegacyGT330Ci Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 I would love a fix to this because it is so irritating when you are going just down the driveway and the thing won't shut up because you don't have your seatbelt on for 10 seconds.

frontrangeSubie Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 This is my first post! Well....finally someone else is annoyed about this DUMB chime. We just recently bought a '05 Silver GT Limited Legacy, and the chime is absolutely the most annoying thing about this car. We have an appointment with the dealer on Aug 23rd to turn this off....Hope he can do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest *Jedimaster* Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 There are quite a few things that the dealer can "reprogram", according to the manual. What exactly are they using to do this "reprogramming"? Is it something we can do ourselves, like turning the chirp off on the alarm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken S Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 I inquired about turning it off with my dealer when I was there a few weeks ago and they claimed it couldn't be done. But then again, they didn't really look into it. I'll keep pestering them...like our seat belt chimes!:D Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtguy Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 If you're not belted, the car shouldn't be moving. If you're waiting for someone for a sufficiently long period that it necessitates your removing the seat belt, you probably have turned the motor off as well. That seatbelt chime is supposed to be a pain in the butt. If you stuff the car, seatbelts are the thing, even more than airbags, that will save that butt. There were two fatal crashes in consecutive days in the Chicago area this week. Both drivers died not because of the crash, but because they were thrown from the car. Why? No seatbelts. Both crashes were very survivable. Buckle up and the chime will be quiet. Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest *Jedimaster* Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 Yeah, we know all that. If someone isn't buckling up, they deserve what Darwin's theory gives them. I buckle up. I still want that shitty dinging to stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praedet Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 What about when I am cleaning the interior of the car and want the radio on?(so the key is in the car) Why do I need to be reminded to put on my seat belt indefinitely when I am in the back seat and the car is going nowhere?

omarco Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 praedet, in this case, you can buckle and unbuckle the seat belts 3 times within 6 seconds to disable it. It will reset the next time you start the car though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
