Turning Off No Seat Belt Alert
#51
Yes, I said it was a waste of time because people should be concerned for safety , not disabling car saftety systems like any seat belt alarm, my first post on the matter ie sit on the seat belt was a JOKE, now can we move on please ? thank you, your contributions are duly noted .................

Replace with a REASONABLE alarm?
Anyone know if there is a way to turn off the beeping sound (progressively louder and more rapid) that the car makes when you don't have a seat belt on?
I know it's a safety thing, and not asking for myself...got a couple of stubborn passengers that refuse to wear seat belts when in my car...no skin off my nose, I just hate having to listen to the beeping. Thanks!

I have a related question.
PLEASE NO PREACHING IN REPLY TO MY QUESTION -- I ALREADY KNOW ALL THE LIABILITY AND SAFETY ISSUES AS WELL AS MOST.
I am driving my third S, a 2008 S550. Great car, but, the seat belt has ALWAYS been terrifically annoying (YES, PREACHER, EVERYONE IN MY CAR WEARS A SEAT BELTS, BUT SOMETIMES IT IS NECESSARY TO REMOVE OR BRIEFLY NOT WEAR).
I have driven numerous new Mercedes as dealer loaners (i.e., 2013 model yesterday) and notice the alarms are a REASONABLE reminder rather than PUNISHMENT BY A FEDERAL BUREAUCRAT. Is it possible to replace my older UNREASONABLLY, ANNOYING alarm with the newer, reasonable alarm???

To answer the question embedded in the BS, probably not.

The W221 is an awfully large car to have careening out of control by an unrestrained driver in the event of a wreck.
