What other cars?
Thanks, steve

 

My 2010 Subaru Outback seatbelt chime can be activated and deactivated by buckling and unbuckling 20 times in 30 seconds with the key in the acc position. My 2014 Focus was something similar, found it on the respective forums. I still have the Outback, and the chime is off but the light on the dash remains on till the belt is buckled.

 

It should turn off when you buckle up for safety. Hope this helps.

 

Yes...thanks, I get that. I work inside an airport where the speeds are 10-15 mph and have to go between an office and hanger within 30 seconds multiple times per day. I also get out to open my gate at home then jump back in to drive to the house an entire 5 seconds and the chime comes on for a 250-300 ft drive from the gate to the garage.

I put my belt on every time I go driving on public roads, its habit and I understand why the system is there, but there should be a way to turn the chime off.

 

 

I have a Chimex that I would use in my Mini. It looks like it would work great here.

When you put over 40lbs in the passenger seat the Mini thinks there's a person there and keeps chiming.

My subaru is disabled as well using the 20 clicks in 30 seconds. It's for techs while they're on a test drive. I tired it on the Pilot to no avail.

 

I would love to watch people do 20 clicks in 30 sec instead of wearing a seat belt. That should be a listing in the DSM-IV.

 

I think you do it once... Then it's off for good. (I checked out YouTube videos of the process)

 

Correct. It's off for good after one iteration in my Subaru. No need to chime at me if I'm idling in front of a store waiting for my wife to run in and out.

 

My 2000 Ford Ranger had a procedure to bypass the unfastened seat belt chime. It was in the manual. I don't see anything in the Pilot manual to bypass this 'feature'.

 

Ohhhh... I was thinking that sounded insane!

 

I bought a Chimex for my 2017 Pilot.
