Has anybody figured out how to defeate the seatbelt chime?
I know on my Ram 1500 I had to do a sequence of steps to have the seatbelt chime not chime.

Why would you do this? Are you opposed to using a seatbelt that has been proven to save lives when properly used though these past 40 years?

It's really easy to defeat in the R1T. All you do is wear the seatbelt. I never hear a chime!

Seat belts are for those who are crash prone. A better thing is defensive driving. Keeps the insurance rates down better than buckling up, which is not really protective of the vehicle.

They are not mutually exclusive. Drive defensively while wearing your seatbelt.

You guys are missing the point. All I asked was if anyone had accomplished this. The reason is on me, love the ..... answers.
Mostly when working and driving short distances, not even on a road, it is easier to just get in drive 100 or two hundred feet and get out.

If you really didn't want to wear the seatbelt, then for 100-200 feet the chime shouldn't be that annoying.

But you do you. I'm out.

I'm with Swanson. I can spend half a day driving around on a 15 acre parcel between 10 different projects. Hauling tools, material and crew. Never exceeding 5 mph on private roads sometimes paved, mostly not. Yeah it might only be a 2 min. drive - but multiple that time 30 or 50 times in a day... Don't jump to the conclusion all trucks are on public roads all the time driving 25 to 75 mph. I don't have an answer to the OP, but I sure appreciate learning one.

You noticed that we received not one constructive answer.

Same here. A lot of short distance in-and-out type stuff for me, not on public roads. Wouldn't bother me at all if it didn't mute the music playing in order to play the chime.

I'm with the OP. I hate the seat belt chime, I've turned it off in all the cars I've owned. But I do wear my seat belt!

In some cars, though probably not the R1's, you can turn it off by repeatedly inserting and releasing the buckle, like 8 or 10 times, in rapid succession ...
