Thanks for the post, however, somewhat confused.

I have a U.S spec 135. My seatbelt gong comes from the stereo speakers, not the dash cluster.

If your chime comes from that speaker, then why would tape stop it? It might muffle it a bit, but that's about it.

Dealers won't do any of that stuff here in the states. Thanks to the litigation law suit happy society. I talked to my dealer....they said nope, no way, can't do it.

Thanks for your stellar input.

So sick and tired of seatbelt Nazis jumping in on this stuff.

MadDragon, did any of us on this board say we want to drive at 100mph in crowded city areas ignoring all laws and risking our lives and others? NO we did not.

We simply are looking for a way to disable the annoying seatbelt chime during short moves, such as getting out at the mail box, then driving in my garage, or getting a parking garage ticket then parking the car, or moving the car in the garage after I wash it. Or carrying my laptop bag on the passenger seat.

So seriously....if you can add value to the post....why are you here?????

Canadian volume can't be adjusted legitimately, at least not on mine. I mean I tried turning it down on the display but nothing.

you realize that all you have to do if you have an american 1er is just pull the fuse for the seatbelt chime, go to your fuse box and open up that little white paper with all the functions of all the fuses and it'll tell you which one to pull
