I hate the seat belt chime. I don't mind the light blinking. Can the chime be disabled?
I do drive with my seatbelt but at times I'm just sitting in my car parked for a bit and hate the chime going off constantly.

This worked for me. No more noise.

 

We have the answer linked right in the FAQ post that is stickied at the top of this forum (https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...iy-thread.html). Link to thread about turning off seatbelt chime from that thread: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...ml#post1588110

If you haven't already done so, I recommend familiarizing yourself with that FAQ. Lots of good information there.

 

Ive done it. So much better

 

 

It did not work on my 2011 IS 250. By "on" you mean just the light are on, etc correct? Not that the engine is on. I did this 4 times, no luck

 

The steps outlined did not work for me. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? I pressed the start button twice only so lights come on, I did not start the car. If this correct, I did it 6 times. No luck.

 

How long were you pressing on the ODO button? Some guides recommend pressing it for 30secs before putting the seatbelt on while the car is in battery mode (not started but windows and AC works).

 

I held it down for a long time. 40 seconds or more. Tried 30, 40, 50 seconds before putting seat belt on. Nada.

 

Also is there a way to shut off the door chime?

 

I think I know why my seatbelt buzzer won't respond to the shut off procedure. I have an aftermarket remote starter on the car and these starters can render certain convenience features useless. An example is the steering wheel memory position. This is now deactivated (only when I use the remote starter). When I don't remote start it the car, it remembers my position. I am pretty confident that this is what's going on. I'll just live with it.
