This will probably break some hearts, but the M2 I'm getting is no track queen, she's going to be a work horse, and she'll be worked like a b$%tch.

I run a bar, and am frequently grabbing supplies, cases of liquor or fruit, and occasionally kegs too...!

So today I had an overly large load, and had a case of limes sitting on the passenger seat for the 8 mile drive from our produce vendor to the bar, with the 'buckle seatbelt' tone going off continuously.

Is there any way to code it off? Or is it a hard-wired safety feature?

Yes you can code off the seat belt warning chime. I believe there is a hard wire you can mess with but coding should be the better choice. I coded off driver side only as I'm always aware of the seat belt. However my passengers sometimes may forget so I left that side on.

Of course! Just go to the navigation section of the forum, and go into the "code your car with bimmercode" thread. You will see that you need the VGate code reader and the bimmercode app.

Quite easily.

I've seen a number of posts about coding. What tool are folks using to do this?

Just curious, if you are always aware of the seat belt then why even code it off?
I never had a situation where my drivers side chime would be annoying, the passenger side though can be a bit annoying if you have something heavy in the seat.

I'm not sure at what mph the seat belt warning comes on but there are definitely moments I'm aware I don't have my seat belt on and I don't need the car to tell me! Example would be when I get into my complex or reparking car etc. Also the valet ppl will be less annoyed even though they might be immume to it. Less noise for better driving focus.

The chime is annoying. A very simple solution if you don't want to bother coding this is to fasten the seatbelt. It will stay out of the way of any items in the seat and the chime goes away.

Why didn't you just buckle the limes in? Will also save the dash should you have to brake suddenly.

Thanks gents. Love this forum - people answer questions. I'm used to Rennlist where generally you get told to f-off.

I just coded off my drivers side alarm yesterday. Soooo much better. There are a lot of times I start the car before buckling up, and may play with the navy or radio for a minute or so. I wear my belt religiously. Indid leave the dash warning light on.

OP, get the app and wifi obd2 plug and you'll be able to code this and a ton of other cool stuff. I bet you'd like to see that startup disclaimer go away, huh?

I've that link another poster uggested to see all the stuff you can code with this app. You can download it for free and get a feel for it in demo mode. No car or obd plug needed for the demo.

I was thinking the same thing... Buckle the limes in for the odd time you have cargo up there.

I should have, but initially they weren't firing the sensor.

It wasn't until I got on the freeway that they shifted a couple of inches and I got the 'bing... bing... bing...'
