Chime while driving? [Help]
Hi everyone,
Not sure what to make of this one, but as I was driving today (mostly on the highway) to help my friend pick up his car from the dealership, every 5 mins or so there was a chime coming from the car while we were in motion at different speeds. It sounded like it was coming from the head unit. The sound itself is the same audible chime/chirp that you hear when you lock the car. I originally thought it would go away after I restart the car on the way back (we were at the dealership for an hour). It wasn't my music or phone either since I turned off the bluetooth and audio altogether with no luck. Any suggestions on this would be a great help as these "chirps" are starting to annoy me.

I'll look into that tomorrow, thanks.
I'm not crazy, my mother had me tested. Lol.

I know it goes off when you don't have your seat belt on

Did you lend your car to a percussionist recently? Check your back seat or trunk for something like this....

One of these. Both should have a light on the dash as well though.
Only other would be something weird with the HU in which case I would just unhook the battery for a minute and see if it goes away.

Are you leaving something heavy or your cell phone on the passenger seat? Either will activate the passenger side airbag and make the seat belt chime go off.
Errrr didn't realize you had a friend in the car. Did they have their seat belt on? |

Weight has nothing to do with what is on the passenger seat. The system is activated by Electrostatic Capacitance Sensor not a weight triggered switch. You could put a 200 pound chunk of steel there and it wouldn't go off but a single tomato set in the right place would trigger it.

It happens at any RPM really. Was happening again on my way to work this morning. Seatbelt on, nothing on the passenger seat.
I'll have Subaru take a look at this, I need to bring her in for the 6 month overall service anyway. Just need to live with the annoying sound for now.
