What's the weight on the passenger seat sensor? Iphone sets off airbag/seatbelt chime
 

Who here hates that passenger seatbelt chime. It seems to get activated by my iphone just laying on any spot. Really gets irritating at times. Hope they come out with a diagnostic tool that can change said parameters on chimes :iono:

Seriously? An iPhone sets it off? That's lame...

ahaha my droid did it too, set the phone more back and it wont do the chime

Yeah my HTC that weighs almost nothing sets it off.

It's actually pretty impressive… Annoying to be certain, but impressive nonetheless! :)

seriously! I guess with a light car even a feather will force it wear a seatbelt, hehehe.

Hopefully my galaxy nexus will not do this...or worse...the asus padfone that's due to arrive next week too :sigh:

My frs came with a cell phone holder you put in one of the cup holders :).

leave the seat buckled? lol that sounds annoying tho

It will.

That is annoying. I usually place my lunch box or a book or something on the pass. seat. It shouldn't go off unless there's more than 50lbs on the seat, IMO

mine did the same thing the other day, heh. curiously enough though if my laptop bag is in the seat, it doesnt trip the sensor. dunno wtf to say about that one.

Huh... I always put backpack, water bottle, & other stuff on passenger seat, so this can get annoying

that means if you put a harness in the car it will yell at you the entire time inless you defeat it some how

Its not a weight sensor - its a new technology that utilizes an electrical capacitance based sensor. It uses electrical capacitance to measure the body mass of an individual sitting there. Hence electronic devices that transmit like cell phones may give false readings. By the same token however, a 200 pound lump of platic would probably not turn the light on.

If you make your passenger piss them selves - it will actually set a DTC. (Seriously - it has a code that sets for the passenger seat cushion being wet)
