I saw a video on disabling the seatbelt chime for subarus and gave it a try on my FRS... and what do you know it worked! Want to pass it on as this will save you from having to buy the diagnostic app and cable.

Put your key into accessory mode.
Next click the drivers seatbelt in 20 times within 30 seconds.
Restart car.
Enjoy your non beeping car

Actually just put my car in gear and it went through one round of beeps then Stopped. Someone else try this and let me know if you find the same thing.

It still beeps, I think it's totaled

Why would someone bother doing this?

Stupid, I prefer the elm 327 OBD II bluetooth dongle + carista app it worked on my friends car to disable the DRLs when he didn't want them before his winjet install and afterwards when he wanted the LEDs to work, as well as many other unnecessary beeps, buzzes and warning. It's less than $20 total and use the CEL and emissions scan and removal on any vehicle as well as customizations on any BMW, audio, toyota or lexus vehicle. I didn't disable the driver's one because that's stupid I disabled the passenger one, because occasionally someone will put a bag there and it'll beep and flash.

I hate it when random people just put their bags in my seat without asking. It's like, what the hell is this doing here?

Yes. He was thrown free of the vehicle because he wasn't wearing his seat belt. Sure, that car is pretty mangled, but if he had remained in his seat, he would have had more of a chance of survival among the airbags than flying free through the air and impacting something hard.

I told this story in that street racing thread. Once when I was in television I covered a single car accident involving a brand new Mustang being driven by a college student. The car had gone off the road and ended up rolling over gently onto its side in the grass. By the time I got there it was back on its wheels. It had a big dent in the door and was a little scraped up on that side, but otherwise the car was in amazingly good shape. I'm pretty sure you could have driven it home.

You could have, but not the driver. That big dent in the door was caused by his head. When the car tilted gently over, it dumped him face first into the ground, where his head somehow ended up under the car.

Because he wasn't wearing a seat belt.

OP may be a troll as Tcoat thinks. If not, I'm sure he's rolling his eyes because he didn't want a lecture. I don't really care. I covered way too many wrecks where the driver and/or passengers would have survived had they been wearing seat belts. I covered one where an entire family of five (two adults, three kids) was ejected from a Geo Tracker during a rollover. They ended up all over the interstate. I had shots of blood-soaked stuffed animals, I kid you not. Only the mother survived.

Wear your fucking seat belt.

Is there some compelling reason that I don't know about for not wearing a seat belt?
