I just purchased a new 2014 Durango and I am wondering how I would go about disabling the seatbelt chime, it is absolutely irritating.

Before anyone posts that I shouldn't be worrying about disabling it because I should wear it I have heard it all already. It is a choice and I choose not to so if someone can please help me it would be greatly appreciated.

 

It is a federal law and I would assume the chime can not be altered. I will move this th the correct section.

On my old Touareg I was able to disable mine with my vag com tool. I am sure if you had the scanner tool you could do it.

 

Check your manual on my 2005 dakota I was able to turn off the seatbelt chime. Also there is a sticky here somewhere

 

Yeah, in my 2011 RAM all you had to do was turn the key to the run position without cranking, then buckle and unbuckle 10 times in 1 minute and viola, no more chime! Not sure if this works in the Durango though. I'll give it a try tonight and see.

Thanks for posting this, you reminded me I need to do the same.

 

According to your owners manual:

BeltAlert® can be enabled or disabled by your authorized
dealer. Chrysler Group LLC does not recommend
deactivating BeltAlert®.

Looks like you can't disable it yourself.

 

Or just order a belt insert.

 

I never knew those damn things existed, problem solved!

 

They sure do.

I have been eyeballing them for a month now.

Measure the resistance between the two wires that travel to the buckle the third is a ground. Then buy a resistor at radio shack of the sane resistance for less than a buck. Install between lead wire and PCM wire and bingo! No more chime.
