Throttlejockey Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 [quote name='mhelouin']I've got an 05 GT 5MT and the dealer can reprogram the chime--they did on mine, anyway. Basically, the way it works--turn the car on. once the beeping starts, insert and take out the seat belt buckle 20 times quickly (like in 30 seconds). turn car off. repeat process. I know it sounds odd, but it works. All i get now when i start the car without the seatbelt plugged in is 4 or 5 chimes. Byers Subaru in Columbus Ohio (by the airport) is my dealership and they can explain it to you if I screwed it up. But it works. Best of luck. --Marc[/quote] I just did this and it works! Thanks! :D Now it only chimes when you first turn the key on. The light doesn't even flash anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deer Killer Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 Couldn't get it to work.. Let's clarify a little. turn on car = start car? beeping starts = first set of beeps when you start, or when it starts chiming after you've been sitting there? Turn off car = remove key? Oh, and we'll have to do this if the battery is ever disconnected huh? frckin a. Really need a 3rd party computer interface so we can play with all these variables...

mhelouin Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 See, this is what I get when I'm not specific. :oops: Thanks, Throttlejockey, for clarifying the steps. No one hates that chime more than I do. Glad we can get the info out there to disable it. --Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frontrangeSubie Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 Worked for me! I am SO glad to get rid of that rediculous seat belt chime! The important thing is that you have to go through the process as SOON as you turn the key on....like it was said before, the immediate chime is interrupted as soon as you start buckling and un-buckling. The only time it chimes now, is when you turn on the car...for 5 chimes, and then BOTH the passenger and drivers chime stops and the "idiot" lights go out. I'm glad it worked for the passenger side also. Mark 2005 Legacy Limited GT Sedan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAP Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 I'm leaving mine alone. Some friends of mine like to ride without their seatbelts on. The annoying chime forces them to wear their seatbelts. I'm happier that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-2.5-GT Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 my understanding was that it was for both seatbelts, but have yet to do it, so i don't know.... :?: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firedawgs Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 OK, I finally accomplished the seat belt disconnect mod. Thank you so much mhelouin. I always wear my seat belt, that is not the problem. It was the chiming when just sitting the car, not driving yet. Anyways, I'm putting this down as the first mod done to my car. Thanks.

brad21 Posted August 18, 2004 Author Share Posted August 18, 2004 [quote name='-HEF-']has anyone tried this on the passenger side yet?[/quote] Once you do it for the driver's side it is indeed history for both sides... aaaahhhh the sweet sound of an unfettered boxer engine at idle. I wonder if it comes back after a battery disconnect? Anyone care to do a science project? :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brad21 Posted August 19, 2004 Author Share Posted August 19, 2004 "Repeat process, remove key from ignition again." Then reinsert the key and start the engine. This is after the second buckle/unbuckle process. Worked for me... maybe I missed some odd thing I did in between? Try rubbing your tummy and patting the top of your head? :) Don't give up, the effort is worth the silence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
