How do you turn off the seatbelt noise?
I drive clients short distances often and the "no seatbelt" noise is driving me nuts, is there a way to take out a fuse, or it's it a computer fix? Help me before I go crazy, anyone successfully got rid of it?

Absolutely no reason not to wear it, unless you (and your clients) enjoy flying through the windshield and eating pavement...It can happen in an instant at less than 35 MPH. Did you know that a back seat passenger can often fly through the front windshield if the car is hit head on and the person is not belted in? If you're t-boned from the left side for example, the unbuckled left backseat passenger could fly out the right rear or back window. If there is someone unbelted in the right rear seat also at that time, he's getting taken out by the flying left side passenger and they're both flying out. If you roll the vehicle, you're all doing a massive cranial scrape down the road, and that ruins everyone's afternoon. Save us the insurance costs and make yourself and all your passengers wear it. From my experience, it makes clients feel more comfortable to see everyone buckled up as well.

To answer your question...
Yes, it can be done. Take it to your favorite dealer and ask them to disable it -- it's software driven. They may not be keen on doing so, but, with a little persuasion, I'm sure you could come to an agreement.

I don't know what the big deal is to take 5 seconds to put on the belt, and if you are carrying clients, making them wear seatbelts shows that you are a careful person who also cares about their well-being. Avoiding the belts shows the opposite and also that you are willing to take stupid risks. Not a good idea from a business standpoint even if you don't like the sound of the chimes.

I believe our friend Miguk was trying to point out via his sarcastic response... that we were potentially being judgmental on not wearing seatbelts, rather than just answering the guys initial forum question. Its definitely not judgmental on our part, its simply caring for our fellow MBZ brothers.
If the guy wants to stop the seatbelt beeping, he simply can go to a junkyard and buy 4 seatbelt buckles for 5 dollars and stick them in the slots full time. Then, he and his clients wont need to buckle up or hear any beeping since there will be buckles already locked in there. Can you imagine..?? I'm done with this thread. Good luck.

Not correct !!
It is very possible, you just need an SDS and about 30 minutes.
Codings need to be changed in a few control units.
Dealers wont do it for 2 reasons, 1. Liability. 2. The dealers are running out of tech's who know there *** from their elbo. (IMHO)
