For the love of god - how do i turn off the seat belt chime ?

[IntegraSpeed]

As a life long motorcycle rider, please there's no need to warn me of the risks.. i'm fully aware. I'll be fine of unbuckling my seatbelt WHEN ITS SAFE TO DO SO!!!, but i don't want is to be told off by my car. i've always found a way to code it out, however this is my first Honda car and so far i can't find a way.

I'm happy to do a modification if need be. Someone somewhere has this figured out.. if so please share. perhaps modifying the wiring under the seat ? perhaps modifying the seat belt clip.

The option of using one of those ridiculous clips from amazon / ebay is not the solution for me,, as that makes absolutely no sense... if anything that encourages you to not wear your seatbelt. as you'd then need to unbuckle the fake seatbelt clip, then plug in the real seatbelt, all i want is being able to occasionally unclip and re-clip if i'm in a position when its safe to do so. That's all. there has to be a way. What about if you were a burns victim ? Every car must have a way. What is Honda's ?

Why not just jump the buckle switch to make the car think the seatbelt is always on?

Easy and free to do.

There could be down sides in doing this as I don't really know how the system works in the fine details. But easy to try.

You, Sir, did not grow up with these stickers on your seat belt buckle.

With my previous car there was a wire under the seat you just had to unplug. Easy peasy. I haven't looked under the integra seat, but probably pretty easy.

I'd want to be sure that the airbag still works.

I had to do this on an older car for the airbag to work as there was a problem with the seat belt switch (and in Canada, the seat belt are not a lifetime warranty item). Had the airbag light, then jumped the wire and the airbag light went away. Car thought that the seat belt was always buckled. Just important to not drive the car without the seat belt...

Worst case, you jump the wire and you'll have an airbag light. In that case, remove the jumper...

Don't know/don't think if it is legal to do this though.

I suspect it's two different sets of wires. My previous car was set up that way too. I just looked under my seat and there's a small wire/plug in with a light blue female side and a white male side. I bet that's the one. The larger plug/harness is likely power and airbag together, or there's a third plug under there too. I couldn't quite see how to release the plug and didn't have enough room in my garage to get the door all the way open. I'll investigate more. If we can just get that small wire unplugged we can test it out! If anyone knows how to release it, let us know.

Buy one of those bucklers in amazon and leave it clicked in?

Nice, i have one of those kits, where you can de-pin most wires from 'most' automotive plugs. (after a rat ate through a bunch of wires) Perhaps this weekend, i can de-pin that wire/connector and see what happens. If i de-pin, and its the wrong wire,, I can just push it back in. Right now i've got the flu, and bending over in a cramped position, isn't high on the agenda lol but thanks for looking into this.

No i want to be able to wear my seatbelt 99% of the time, i just don't want to be beeped at on the times i want to unbuckle.

I'm betting you won't need to do that.

Ask the dealership.

My Subaru dealer showed me how to do it for my Impreza. For that car I had to insert and remove the seatbelt clip a bunch of times in a set period of time. That disabled the chime but had no other effect.

This is the dumbest thread I read in a long time!
Either wear your seat belt, or get a set of earplugs.

And not wearing your belt will probably prevent the airbags from deploying - the entire vehicle safety system is coordinated:

Then please ignore and move on.
