The best way to turn off the chime is then to "click it," "Buckle up," and/or put on your seatbelt. If you want to go into the system and take it off, then that is evading the purpose of the chime. They are supposed to be annoying, that way you will put the seatbelt on first.
The answer to the question is very simple. Isn't it?

Don't interpret my tome as being nasty. I know it might come across as *****y, but that is not how I mean it.

I do buckle-up every time, but as well I can say that having a 1 year old boy in the back seat, sometimes I do wish for the chime to go away.
In my case, every time my wife has to reach for the baby toys or multiple other ocasions during a trip, she has to unbuckle the seatbelt to get a good reach.
At this times I wanted the chime to go away (more if the child is sleeping and suddenly wakes up because of the annoying sound).
I got following comments from friends:
1. "stop the car when this happens, and then continue once the reach has finised". If you have a child you know stoping several times on the side of a highway can be more dangerous than reachin the back of the vehicle without a seatbelt.
2. "Let your wife seat at the back with the child" this can be an option, but only in not so long trips, because she gets dizzy at the back, and of course prefers to be next to me while driving.
I as well want this noise to go away.

Well, I was able to have a dealer deactivate the chime. I showed them a menu I found on mbworld for someone who did it on a W203...and it apparently got the tech to the right place for our 05 w211's. They just asked I sign the work order confirming I requested it.

Ok Guys, I went to use the DAS today and here is what I have. Tell the service guy to do the following procedure.
First hook up DAS
Then do Short Tests
Then Click on IC (instrument cluster)
Then Click Version Coding
Then Change Seat belt settings, there are 3 options.
Continous (UK SETTING)
Single Beep (USA SETTINGS)
OFF
