Disabling the Seatbealt chime/light
I was reading another thread about aftermarket seats and in one of the posts "Demik" mentioned disabling the chime for the seatbelt when it is not worn. Does anyone know how to do this...????
and replying with "just wear your seatbelt" isn't the answer im looking for 
here is the post...

when i put my seats in the only light i got was the one in my cluster. i previously turned off the chime for the seat belt light prior to my after market seats. so iono if it will chime if u dont disable it. the harness for the seat belt is with the seat air bag harness and i didnt feel like taking all the wires of the OEM seats to plug it in. You can use is300 rails they fit. There are an additional 2 mounting holes on the rear 2 seat mounting point area. i like these seats better couse im a little skinny and the f seats are a little wide to me. hope this help. there is a kit or resistor u can buy , just been lazy to get it and the light doesnt bother me.

I've done this and it works 
It eliminates the chime; however, the blinking light still shows up on the gauge cluster.
Instructions:
1. turn the key to the ON position which means pressing the start button twice on the new IS since it doesn't has the key, foot off the brake
2. Press the trip reset button couple of times until the ODO is displayed (not trip A or B)
3. turn the ignition to the LOCK (OFF) position
4. unbuckle the driver's seatbelt if it was buckled.
5. turn the key to the ON position again press the start button twice. when the dash lights comes on, press and hold the trip reset button and count a slow 12 seconds. (editor's note, hold it more like 30 sec)
6. while still holding the trip reset button, buckle the driver's side seatbelt.
7.and the odometer display should read "b ON" or "b OFF". toggle the beep OFF with the trip reset.
8. the process should be completed when you unbuckle or turn the key off.

thanks! I just did it and it worked. The hard part is holding down the trip reset button and buckling your seatbelt at the same time lol - you definitely need skills and two arms/hands for that one
thanks for the quick reply and solution!
