Put your seatbelt on and be safe

i don't think it's possible. i've been trying and looking through every idrive menu option with no luck. kinda strange because i think the owners manual shows a screen shot of the idrive menu where u can turn off/on the alerts. Maybe it's just the US cars that disable this option?

racingBMW · 08-08-2006, 06:19 PM

yea, i dont think its possible to turn it off, i looked in the manual....no luck

i know how to turn it off.....

DONT drive your car!

well if you live in Orange COunty you can go to a place in santa ana where he can remove the Accept screen on the nav and all that. but i mean he charges like 200 bucks

andrew 330i · 08-08-2006, 10:36 PM

if one wishes... the ground wire under the seat can be removed.

i did this to another chiming car of mine.

i haven't had time to remove the seat in the 330 yet.

being in real estate... with open houses and all... its a pain to remove my seat belt (on/off) every corner or so setting up signs, etc..

but 95% of the time my belt is worn.

look under DIY section. A member cut out a belt buckle from another car and just stuck it in the seatbelt holder. LOL it's genius I tell you!!!

i used a tongue depressor.........

No offence but I think is stupid to try to turn off the seatbelt alert. just put the fucking seatbelt on, the only thing that bmw is trying to do is salve your ass.

do you also want to know how to disable your airbags, maybe is in the idrive menu too

I think if you want to get your self kill just jump out of a building, is easy and is free

IMO they are only trying to stop dumb idiots suing them for 'not making it obvious' they should wear a seat belt.

Wasn't it the US who refused compulsory belt laws on 'freedom' grounds until recently. As I recall, air bags were first invented to protect 'free' american people NOT wearing belts.

I know I should wear the belt, but if I choose not too for a reason, i.e. driving on private land at low speed (at work at a power plant, or on a camping site / beach) then I don't want this damn chime. You should be able to cancel it, but only for each operation.

If you wait 2 minutes though it will stop chiming.

If you buckle up the belt it turns off

Otherwise - the best answer is to cut off the buckle from an old car and leave it plugged in.

Seems a lot of effort to go to in order to make the car less safe though .... I'd just wear the belt.

booforty · 08-09-2006, 05:17 AM

Why would you ever not wear your seatbelt? Keep safe

shoread · 08-09-2006, 07:48 AM

It is possible for your dealer to load a piece of software that allows them to disable the seat belt chime.

Most don't know about it, but it is on the discs they get from BMW.

You may have to ask nicely.

You still get a discrete warning light but all the gonging thankfully disappears, for when manoevering around car parks etc.

Dankim10 · 08-09-2006, 08:45 AM

under the seat, there is a weight sensor. If you disconnect it, I bet your problem will be solved!

I have not tried yet.

That would also disable the airbag and you probably don't want to do that

Unless you have a passenger - doh

longtran · 08-09-2006, 10:28 AM

when i added amps to my car, the sound went away. i am assuming you can stop the sound from the bmw amp. just dont know which wire to cut.

T-MC-G · 08-09-2006, 11:42 AM
