WizzD Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 ^ That's odd. When I did it, it took everything off. The seatbelt light up near my sunroof controls don't even come on anymore. Driver/Pass, no ding, no lights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zildjiank Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Okay, first off...I HATE THIS BEEPING... Tried to turn it off today by following the instructions, no go b/c when I had my seatbelt off, there the chime went again... So I tried again, turned off the car, then back on, and what do you know, still dinging when I go somewhere in the car w/o the seatbelt on... Freakin annoying, and either I'm smokin crack or these instructions suck cause I did it 3 times, and after each one, there it goes again...

Scooter Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Get some better crack, chill for a couple days, and give it another try. You'll get it right sooner or later. Some people have reported the need to run the whole sequence twice in a row (immediatly in a row) or even three times. But I have a car like yours ('05 LGT LTD 5MT) and the sequence usually works the first time, so think it's just karma: it's hard to get right if you're frustrated. Seek first to understand, then to be understood. In other words: SEARCH before you post! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meier motor sports Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 for the last time there are tons of at the local junk yard that what we did we saw a 2003 wrx and just cut the belt and slide the clip off the belt (the thing you plug it into) wham no more chime this is tacky but the dealership has to suplie you with seat belt extensions. tell them your mother is over weight and cant use the belt properly. or insert any person you want. or dont tell them anything. but the dealer is suposed to suplie seat belt extensions for fat ppl. your plug one end in and leave it. you can still buckel into the extension if u want ot be safe or u could leave it out and the car thinks your buckeled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zildjiank Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 ^ Does it stop flashing the light? Or does it stay on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meier motor sports Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 the light will stay on. just the buzzer is turned off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjl330 Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Worked for me, make sure the dials are on, but not the engine. But I do wonder, is it unsafe to do this in any way? I mean if we wear the seatbelt ALL the time, but with the chime turned off, will it compromise safety in any way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2furious Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 it worked for me but didn't work at my 05 OB. I don't know why... That's the thing why some of us couldn't get the job done. From Desert to Rocky to SLC !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nautious1 Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 just noticed that whenever you remove the battery cables, you'll have to do this whole process again. It worked for me with no problems. I just don't understand how people can't follow the simple instructions that are posted. Seriously, the second time around, I did it so slow that a turtle ran across my garage and it still worked.

sysfailur Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Took me two tries to get it to work in my 07 Legacy. Thanks for the wonderful tip!!!!! I did 20 times, turned it off, it still beeped. Did it again, it turned it off. Now when I start the car I get an itital "Put your seatbelt on!" Chime and light, and then.. NO MORE!! Woohoo!

FishingFiend Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 2 tries but my 07 LGT is now freed from that annoying chime! Thank you all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blastoff543210 Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 I have an 05 Outback XT and I was able to disable the chime but then it came back and not I can't disable it again. I've tried the once method at the acc position, the twice method at the acc position. I tried the once method with the ignition on and the twice method with the ignition on. And no matter what after I start my car the stupid seat belt chimes blings and blings. Anyone have any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soyboy004 Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 i just did it again on last week. 20 click method at the key position where the gauge cluster is on. the seatbelt reminder stays on when u first start the car, but will not keep reminding you if you take ur belt off when in motion.

Montana Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 I used the 20-click method on the '06 sedan. Chime is on at startup and never returns. Dash warning light comes on at startup and never returns. I unhook the belt every day as I pull into the parking garage so I can reach for the little ticket, this noise was a daily nuisance. Thanks.

zildjiank Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 I finally did it where it worked... What a relief! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WizzD Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 It's BACK! Yup, that's right. It's been about 6 months or so without that chime and all of a sudden it came back. On top of that, it won't go away the same way I disabled it last time. (20 click method). It was quiet for months, but it has returned and will not go away. (No, the batt. was never reset or anything like that, just started it up the other day and BEEP, BEEP, BEEP!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottybuckeye Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Mind has just started up as well recently. Maybe Subaru sent out radio signals and enabled all the chimes just to piss of us rebel drivers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inigo Montoya Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 You can add me to the list of people who had it come back, disabled mine back in Feb, came back last week. Have not tried to fix yet, but will post with results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zildjiank Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 For some funny reason, mine came back within a month... But I just repeated the process, and it was gone easily... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
941LE Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 I actually turned mine back on the other day only it's different...it's like a hybrid version of the chime. The reason I turned it back on is since my sassy lady friend had decided she would test my attention skills by only wearing her belt some of the time...women?!? Anyway, I turned it back on and it beeps on start up...if the lady doesn't buckle it'll continue to beep (warning light on the overhead console flashes for the passenger's side) but if I un-buckle while at the drive through or in the parking garage the light comes on and flashes but it won't beep at me again...only beeps for the front passenger after the initial start? It's almost like it knows I'll put my seatbelt right back on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
