Seatbelt alarm silencer

Hate that annoying seatbelt alarm going off all the time..here’s your fix for just $10 shipped...

 

I like it!
Will it fit in a 2nd gen?

 

Yes they will

 

Neat idea, but you could always just buckle up. It's not a huge task

 

You are correct but I only used these while on the trails not on highway.

 

ok, thanks.

 

A reason why you might want these: This weekend I picked up 17 miles of desert race course where the markers were somewhere between 15 and a few hundred feet apart. Took about 4 stops to just buckle the belt behind us and not deal with it at the 6 miles an hour we were doing.

 

I will say that a seatbelt alarm silencer named "Tikit" is rather ironic considering the whole "click it or ticket" campaign that's been going on for years now.

It would be like naming a cannabis strain "McGruff"

 

I've made such a habit of buckling that even when I'm off road I still do it lol
But I could understand off-road use. Please don't use on highway

 

agree

 

SOLD!!!

 

Just an FYI, I just asked Toyota to turn mine off when I went in for my first service and they did it for free.

 

The second gen has an option to turn off the seat belt chime. You just have to find a dealership that is willing to do it for you.

 

they sell similar items on eBay for about a $1

 

I asked the same thing to the service guy on my first 5k service and they told me that hasn't an option and can't be modified. This people tend to say NO without some research or asking a knowledgeable mechanic.

 

It's in your owners manual under seatbelts. It says 'chime - default on' 'chime off - custom'
Or option. Something to that affect. 90% of dealerships will strait up say no, cause it has to do with seat belts and that is a safty item that they dont want to mess with and deal with any ramifications.

 

So this is something we can turn on/off ourselves? I'll have to dig out my manual then.

 

Mine would not, but I keep asking lol

 

I only drive without my seatbelt off road where the bumps make the seatbelt keep tightening up, if that didn't happen I'd never need to drive without it and wouldn't. When I do drive without my seatbelt speed is so slow the alarm doesn't go off.
I will not allow anyone to ride with me and not wear their seatbelt as they are a dangerous unsecured load.
I always wear my seatbelt, seatbelt saved my life once so I could sue the idiot that caused the wreck. It's foolish not to use safetly equipment.

 

Pro tip: You can put the narrow squeeze end of a wooden clothes pin in the slot and it silences it. I had to do that because the 12-15 trucks need it disabled in techstream.
