Safety Belt Reminder System - Disable Audio

2. By putting the other (passenger's) seatbelt buckle in the latch.
3. By putting something else in the buckle. Likely a seatbelt extender?
4. By cutting the wire to the buckle. How can this be done/undone?
5. Putting a piece of tape behind the instrument cluster << what is involved here?
6. ??

Questions I have:

1. Are there any programmers out there that can disable this?
2. Can the DEALER disable this?
3. Is there a procedure to disable this? (like in Dodge/Chysler vehicles)
4. Is there a fuse that can be pulled?
5. Is there a wire that can be cut?

Also, if you would like to discuss my complaints on the 2010 Camaro's seat belt see this post: http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showth...54#post1174954

Yes, I did try this again. New tactics!

To OP:
I would try bringing the belt behind the backseat and buckle it, this should work and you won't be sitting on the closed belt. Seems to me it would be easier to buckle up and use a sheepskin type proctector on the belt, this would prevent irritation on your neck. I agree that the belt is literally a "pain in the neck", the edge of the belt also rubs the side of my neck, but I do buckle up and deal with it. I'm certainly not going to give you the lecture.

Even with your "new tactics", threads like this only end up going downhill and just getting everyone stirred up. I appreciate your tenacity.

If you cut the belt, I doubt your car would pass state inspection.

We are going though roughly the same thing with our Ford Ranger but for different reasons. The seat belt chime constantly goes off even when your are buckled in. We've tried everything to fix them problem and nothing has worked so now we are just going to try and figure out how to turn the chime off, so far nothing has worked.

no seatbelt affects no one else on the road, does help out the user in safety- tests have shown that. though its a personal choice like smoking cigarettes- they know it causes cancer, i personally hate the habit and its expensive. i think the fella has a question, please do not flame him for wanting to know how to disconnect a simple chime, personal preference

Let him drive w/o a belt because there is absolutely no evidence that the inconvenience of wearing it could save his life.

Everyone knows there is damn evidence. . . let the dude live his damn life the way he wants to. . .What makes you the voice of reason?

The personal experience of witnessing the carnage as a result of people not wearing seatbelts is where I draw my sense of reason... you really don't need to cuss and scream like a juvenille delinquent it doesn't help get your point across. He can live or die any way he wants but to think there is no potential for it to affect anybody else when it happens is pretty narrow minded. I'm entitled to voice my opinion, sorry if you didn't like my tone but until you see it first hand you cannot fully grasp the stupidity of not wearing a seatbelt.

And another thing I would hope the mods would seriously discourage discussions on how to void safety features on our beloved Camaros...jmho

[franknbeans]

then you sit in front of the local 7-11 and tell every person in there that buys cigs they are "hurting their family" and shouldn't be smoking...

like I said, get off your damn high horse and stop posting if you can't help the OP out.

So every single thread about removing the cats, or all the threads about How can I get a tune without GM knowing so I can keep my warranty should be left on?

Or lets say the safety feature for our children? (air pollution ) The cats everyone is removing form the car.. should we delete all these threads to?

You asked, and I don't know what all the rest of that has to do with this conversation. Talk about high horses you, you haven't served much purpose to the OP's issue other than hating on people who disagree and actually have some life experience to help him understand the dangers involved with his quest.

One day when you're grown up you'll understand. I'll leave it at that, you can't have a sensible conversation with someone who doesn't have any sense to begin with.

Oh for the love of --
Everyone stop getting your panties in a twist, and chill out....

The OP wants to know how to disable the chime....tell him if you know, get out if you don't. Chime or no, it's painfully obvious he has no intention of wearing the belt...so lecturing is not going to help.

To those who refuse to wear seatbelts, etc in here...don't be surprised at the opposition you're getting. And frankly, don't get upset. You are going against the grain, be it right or wrong the fact is you are in the minority. Opposition, staunch opposition at that, should be expected -- and you should be able to deal with it because it comes with the territory of being a rebel.

To those who do wear seatbelts, etc in here. The first thing you need to realize is that you can lecture and prove a point over and over...but some people will NOT listen. This is when you quit. It's called a lost cause, and is no longer worth your time or patience. Berating a stubborn person will do nothing but add to his/her and your own aggravation.

i see the carnage all the time, people made decisions and now have to live with them, as do I. its not pretty, seat belts could of saved a lot of lives, removing a chime does not necessarily mean you wont wear your seatbelt either.

You and I both know that removing that annoying little chime takes away the only thing that will force a second thought, but Dragoneye is right niether viewpoint will convince the other to reconsider. I'm guilty of letting my beliefs lose site of this fact.
