seat belt chime

[StatCoder]

Where do I go to get the last 2 minutes of my life back.

Amazing. The only thing I can think of that is worse than listening to the the "you should have done a search" people is the "wear your seatbelt" people.

There. If there's someone on this thread that I haven't insulted, I'm sorry to have left you out.

Now that we are 2 pages deep. Here is the answer...

Driver, no, cannot be turned off.

Passenger, yes, you must see the dealer or buy the $2,000 scanner and do it yourself.

Or use wire snips, might affect your airbag bag but oh well???

M-80 taped to the bell, or you can just unplug it, might affect your air bag as well???

A lit match, tossed into gas tank will make the dinging stop for sure.

Mine dose not go off untill I hit 15MPH so if you're going 5MPH you should be fine.

I am talking about wearing my seat belt on my lease going 5 MPH across a pasture. I work in the Emergency Department and understand what it means to wear a seat belt. Please keep your comments to yourself.

Here here. Couldn't agree with you more about non-value-added fill from those people. The man asked a simple question and expected a simple answer, detached from any holier-than-thou emotion or caffine-induced impatience. Just the facts, folks.

At this point there hasn't been word from any TS posters having any success over-riding the system, for whatever reason. But there are some ingenious folks around. In the meanwhile you'll probably have to live with it as part of owning a 2007 Tundra.

I am a member of other boards. On one I am one of the first ones on there so I've watched it grow. Newbees come by and ask an old question, we try to help them out even though we've heard the question a hundred times. They get their answer and go on their way. It just makes it easier for everyone.

Replys like, "use the search button" are pretty condescending and very discouraging for a new person. If you are going to make posts like that, just don't post.

Thanks for all of the positive comments. I did not know I was opening such a big can of worms.

I guess that is the main reason I dont subscribe to this site. Too much clutter that the mods could clean up. I am too lazy to read what benifits a subscription gives you. Can someone please clue me in.....or I guess I should do a search so 7 people don't tell me to search before posting.....and here I go hijjacking this nice thread.....ooops.

I never hear this so called ding. I suppose that is because I value my life and buckle up before I start the engine.

I totally agree - just answer the question, read to learn or go to another thread --- maybe go take some prosac!

This worked for my 07 FJ Cruiser. I took the FJ hunting and even though it isn't the safest thing in the world to ride with no seatbelt, I took the risk. It would have sucked to miss the huge buck that crossed the road on the way back to camp just because I couldn't get out of the seatbelt. (ended up shooting a fork-horn anyway)

Seat belt chime
1. Turn the ignition switch on (without starting car)
2. Press the ODO/TRIP switch until the odometer displays "ODO"
3. Turn the ignition switch off
4. Turn the ignition switch on
5. Press ODO/TRIP switch immediately (within 6 seconds after turning the power switch ON) and hold it down for 10 seconds or more.
6. Continue holding the ODO/TRIP switch and fasten the front passenger's seat belt.
7. Check that the odometer displays either "b-on" or "b-off" (it will be "b-on")
8. Press the ODO/TRIP button to change the display to "b-off".
9. Turn the ignition switch off.
10. Turn the ignition switch on while depressing the brake pedal.
11. Check that no buzzer sounds when setting on the front passenger seat.

Can anyone tell me if this works for the Tundra?
