    Switching off sealt belt reminder

    Anyone know how to get rid off that anoying sound? Dont want to use a fake belt-clip as I normally want to use the belt, just not for short distances between shopping or just when starting the car and "taxiing" before take off

    Porsche itself as well as the Porsche centers are not willing to do so... :-(

    Re: Switching off sealt belt reminder

    I had it done at my OPC.. I had to insist strongly and sign a discharge form.
    It took two minutes to get rid of it , using their lap top to deprogramme the beeeeeeeep

    Re: Switching off sealt belt reminder

    Did it this way on my Japanese SUV. Removed guage cluster, located tone generator (looks like a thick button with one hole), filled the hole with hot glue: absolutely effective.

    But where is it on the Carrera ?

    Re: Switching off sealt belt reminder

    I must admit mine annoys the h*ll out of me too. I always wear my belt whilst driving (its law in the UK anyway), but when I get home I have to lean out of the window to swipe my garage door tag on the sensor. From there I have a 50yd drive to my spaces and the ping ping ping ping all the way is very annoying.

    Id love to disable it too!

    Re: Switching off sealt belt reminder

    I have to do the same trick to get the mail before I ride down the driveway.

    For some reason I seem to think it gives up after a while and goes silent. But that could be imagination.

    Most likely also in the instrument cluster. Easy to recognise the tone generator.

    I haven't found instructions for removing Instrument cluster in our cars.

    Removed IC in my 986S a while ago; was really easy once you have the DIY instructions. Eventually someone will post those somewhere (renntech?)

    Problem with disabling the TG is other alarms might also be silenced. Would be nice to establish a _reversible_ disconnect.

    I wear a seat belt to move any car any distance. It is utterly stupid not to do so.

    It was the same for me. Get out to get the mail, listen to the beep beep , get out sometimes again to move kids toys on the driveway.. listen to the beep beep. It just drove me crazy.
    No I do not have the beep beep anymore and I am much happier !!!

    People that comments are : 'just wear your belt' should keep them for them self. I do wear my seat belt on the road at all times, but here are those occasions, like on my long slow driveway, or in an underground parking where I do take my belt off... and do not tell me there is any security problem with that !!!!!!
    I am responsible enough to buckle up, I do not need a beep to tell me that !!! ( it's like writing on a cup of coffee: be careful it is hot ....

    HAHA... no its like the Mug would beep beep beep...

    Re: Switching off sealt belt reminder

    This stupid seat belt thing is crazy. I have it on my othe car. When I put some folders on the passenger's seat, the bloody thing goes beep beep. This is really flawed design. I always wear the seat belt, I do not need this annoying [beep] up gadget to tell me what to do....especially that I should put my folders on the backseats and not on passenger seat.
    Luckily, the 997 I bought second hand had it disabled.

    LOL, good one.

    Just think..., the mug also beeps when the battery needs changing; like the dozen smoke alarms in my house.
