Disabling SeatBelt Chime

Hey,

So before I get flamed. I am a HUGE supporter of wearing seat belts, however I help out my family and have to go to nurseries to pick out plants, trees, and bushes for jobsites. With that being said, i'm constantly getting in and out every 30 or yards so I cant be taking off and on my seatbelt goign less than 15 mph. Is there a fuse i can pull to disable this annoying chime

Perhaps you can shut the car off when you make a quick stop?

As others have said, I'd go the coding route. It's what I did to get rid of mine. My wife tends to lean back to the back seat to get things for the kids (2 and 4), so it was a major nuisance when she did that (since she's still partially in the seat). Plus, for some stupid reason the sensor in the passenger seat in my X5 was so sensitive it would recognize a laptop as a passenger and give me the same alarm.

I coded mine out once I picked up the basics of coding. It's really pretty easy. Getting the files set up and your PC squared away is the toughest part. I recommend reading up on it if this really bothers you. There are tons of other neat things you can do with it too (DVD in motion is one of them).

How would that compare to say the new 5-series which has that automatic on-off system when you are stopped in traffic?

That's bad for the system also. Yeah... save some gas but wear out the dam starter.

Who ever said that that system is good for the car? It's a selling feature for morons who think shutting the car off and on at every light will save them money on gas. It'll save them maybe $3.75 per year, but cost them 100x more to fix their ignition system. The best fuel saver at a light is to throw it in neutral (in an auto car), and even that isn't the greatest to do.
