i just got a 2006 e350 and the seat belt warning chime is driving me crazy
anyone know how to get rid of it?
I looked in the fuse box but am not sure which fuse it is.
any insight or help is greatly appreciated

There is NO fuse for this chime warning. it can be disabled with a Star Diagnose Computer. You have to play around with the country settings. I believe there is even one setting that keeps it on continously until you wear the belt!!! I can check when i have some time - which setting it is.

Hope not to offend but the best way to get rid of the chime is to put the seatbelt ON? The chime was made super irritating on purpose. It may be not be comfortable for everyone but hey it is THE most important lifesaving device on your car. You bought a MB for safety no? Well all those other devices in your car are secondary and useless without your belt.....and it'll save you from a ticket too. Sorry for the speech, I'm a doctor that's seen too many DOA that happened from guess what?

Have you read the manual? The new Chrysler 300 comes with an annoying chime and my first thought was to find a fuse. But then I read the manual (actually looking for the fuse) and found a procedure for turning it off. It involves turning the ignition to the acc setting and buckling and unbuckling the seatbelt 3 times in like 10 seconds. It may be worth checking.
Hope this helps.

After repair attempts, here's the dealer solution to my problem:

Can the 300’s steering wheel controls scan through radio presets or do you have to scan all available stations?

Mine is deactivated via SDS for both front seats.... I also deactivated the beeping when locking and unlocking the car. I set it to 0%, factory was set at 20%.

Seat belt chime- version coding in cluster
Locking- coding in rear sam

The dealer should be willing to do it for you with proper documentation/signature stating that you requested the chime to be removed.

I think that it should be a matter of choice whether to wear a belt or not. I do not think the car should try to force you to wear it.

The are supposed to be three settings in the computer for the reminder, which are (or were), Euro (continuous signalling - yuck), US (chime briefly), Off (no warning). I think the most likely thing is that US cars are being shipped with the reminder set to Euro, and that it can be unset.

Good luck.

Here is a link to a similar discussion on the C Class forum, where they actually explain how to disable the reminder (on a C of course).

On the W211 the version coding in the instrument cluster is not country specific. You enter the cluster via SDS, select control unit adaptations, version coding and then there is a option for the seatbelt reminder. Before any changes are made, it reminds you that this can only be performed at the clients request. You set it to not active and hit F5 to xfer the coding.... Then F2 to confirm the changes, F1 to exit the cluster and then switch off the ignition and disconnect.... That is it. Mine no longer chimes or shows the reminder light in the cluster.

changing the beeping when arming is usually done with a SDS system that has developer mode.... which most dealers do not have.

Noise when arming is country specific in the rear sam, but when set to U.S. can be changed by a %. Simply set it to 0% and it makes no noise. No special das software is required.

It has buttons for both!!!!! One button scans through presets and the other scans all available stations. Thanks for asking. I had to check the manual, but now I know.

Anyone know a MB shop in Northeastern Illinois that will deactivation seat belt tone through the diagnostic computer on a 2011 E350W4. I know I should wear the seat belt but at times it's not possible.
