Google turning off the seat belt reminder, there is a process you do and once you do it the seat belt reminder is off until you do the procedure again

Unfortunately this doesn't stop the chime from beeping off 5 times when you start the car without your seatbelt on. And that is the only thing I want to disable.

That's odd, IIRC, that tweak fixed the nanny ding completely on both front seats on my truck.
Zero ding factor, just a nanny light.

The only thing I dislike about that fix is that the EVIC is still monopolized with a large red warning for a short period, while I might prefer to be checking something else.

I'm headed out shortly, I'll pop my seatbelt extender out and confirm. Then again, your truck may respond differently than mine.

I was working with AlphaOBD yesterday, turns out the Autopark feature shows in the list. I did not try to disable it, the seat belt extender works fine for that while the engine is running and disabling it completely would also disable the move it to park with engine off feature when you open the door and left it in drive or neutral. Never actually done that but I see no downside to this feature.

My bet however is that this function can be completely turned off for those that really hate it. If you turn it off, remember to turn it back on before you sell the truck. That is not a change that a new user should inherit..

I would just like to back up with my tailgate down without it stopping the truck.

This is from a post from this very site by Sherman Bird. There are lots of others who have posted this as well as a ton of YouTube on it. In point of fact, if you had read the very first page of this actual thread you would have found this exact information. I generally won't look stuff up for guys, it really isn't that hard to search this forum. This is a one time pass cause you are new.

Seat belt turnoff:
1. With all doors closed and the ignition switch in the off position buckle the driver’s seat belt.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position and wait for the Seat Belt Warning Light, and the other start up lights to turn off.
3. Within 60 seconds of turning the ignition switch to the
ON position, unbuckle and then re-buckle the driver’s
seat belt at least three times within 10 seconds, ending
with the seat belt buckled.
NOTE: Watch for the Seat Belt Warning
Light to turn on
while unbuckling and off while re-buckling the seat belt.
It may be necessary to retract the seat belt.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position. A
single chime will sound to signify that you have successfully
completed the programming.

The Enhanced Warning System (BeltAlert) can be reactivated
by repeating this procedure.

This gets rid of the Ding but you still get the warning on the EVIC. A seat belt extender will get rid of both.

Thanks for posting this procedure. My wife is very impatient and unbuckles before stopping then gets pissed at the chime. This spares my ears on two fronts.

For:
-Disable exterior back light from turning on @unlock and @Lock
-Disable dashboard lights from turning on @unlock and @door open

These were big problems for me at night when camping--blinds everyone including me. I removed the bulb for the bed light but never found a solution for the dash lights.

I think with AlfaOBD you can set it to "police mode" which will allow turning off interior lights and approach lights. But I don't remember 100% what all it changes.
