Seat Belt Ding

Re: Seat Belt Ding
I just came from the Toyota dealership and asked them to turn my seatbelt dings off. They told me it couldn't be done. I showed them the page in the owner's manual that instructed me to have the dealer disable the buzzer if I didn't like it.
To make a long story short...the tech was able to plug his scan tool into my 07 TCH and turn offf the passenger and driver's side buzzers!!
Excelent!!

Can you let me know exactly what page that is? My salesman also told me it couldn't be done. Now I know he just had my best interests in mind, but I do intend to give him a friendly swat on the nose for lying to me (though he was probably just repeating what his boss told him to say).
I spend several hours of every weekday running errands, and I'm sometimes in and out within a few minutes, and I'm just not gonna put it on every time under those circumstances. Most of the time I do, but it's my choice, not Toyota's.

If I put something heavy on the passenger seat (i.e. groceries) the car thinks that the passenger is not wearing the seat belt and the annoying dinging starts. Anyone have this problem? Then I am driving along trying to shove everything onto the floor.

It is annoying, but it quits after about 30-45 seconds

In the end, I just got it disabled by the dealer during its 5K maintenance, at no cost.
It took a LOT of convincing/threatening as well as showing them the manual page etc, but in the end they did succumb. Just be persistent.

Your lucky. Rosner Toyota (Stafford, VA) wanted $95 to do it - and that was AFTER I complained about how it was written into the handbook/manual that it could be done. They didn't even have a owners manual on hand to reference - they used mine! And still wanted to charge me for the 3 minute "hook up". Heck, my car was in for regular service. How long would it had taken? I'm most likely moving to another dealer for service and otehr things...

Now that I think of it, I actually had 3 changes/mods made at no costs...
