Minor malfunction - seatbelt chime on pass seat went off due to iphone weight
Just thought I'd share this: Yesterday after getting gas, I was driving for about 30 seconds when my seatbelt chime started going off.
I un-did and re-did my seatbelt a number of times and it was still going off. The only thing on my pass seat was my iphone, so I thought - might as well lift it. Instantly went off So apparently, for some reason on this trip, the weight of my iphone was enough to trigger the passenger sensor.

Happened to me a couple times this winter in my 228i. I don't think I've seen the issue in my M3 yet.

That was a problem with the E9x. Mine would do it with nothing on the seat if the cabin was over like 75 deg F. It was so irritating. I had to run with the passenger seat belt clipped.

This happens to me about once a month or so, now I know why. Don't bother going to the dealership, nothing they can do about it.

I have a Nexus 6, which I believe is even heavier than an iPhone 6 Plus, but I've never encountered this issue.

I see you beat me to this thread. . I searched but couldn't find anything and started a very similar thread a while ago. my car had mysteriously stopped being so sensitive. I wonder if they updated something when the car was in for the 1200mi beak in service. .?

Wow, just had this twice in last two weeks. Only happens with phone charging. Dealer said they are seeing it a lot more these days.
