would I have guessed that someone made something like that.
As far as annoying chime from passenger seat why not just leave the seat buckled fill time. Surely a pet could still sit on the seat even when the buckle is already in right.

to the OP, great job providing an alternative solution to those that needed it.

my car does the same... if i drop somebody off, the car will know the person is gone as the airbag will shut off, but the damn chime will stay on... only choice i have is to buckle that side and drive around like that until the next time i start the car...

In my C32...no chime.

In the E55...they only chime when moving with serious weight in the seat (i.e. me or another person). My pile of laptops/ipads/bags etc. doesn't trigger it.

You can get the dealer to adjust the sensitivity on it...they adjusted mine 3 times already. As for the pressing the arrow up and down, what button is that can someone please respond to that question, which has been asked 3 times now.

It's probably disabled in Star. Turned off my chime and enabled the visual display with text in the cluster display. Couldn't be happier

I would have died two separate times if I had not been wearing my seat belt. I have the scars and titanium screws and plates to prove it. Neither occasion involved excessive speed, reckless driving or alcohol. Just freak, fluke accidents. Think about how quickly our cars accelerate to insane speeds. Blink of an eye. Seriously I was almost DEAD as in very close to death. If it wasn't for my seatbelt the second time I would have actually been decapitated. Have the eight inch scar on my scalp to prove that too. Gonna look weird when I go bald. Lol, 'least I ain't DEAD.
