Seatbelt Alarm

New v6 double cab long bed yesterday.

Anyone know how to turn off the seatbelt alarm ? dealer will not do it. manual says it is customizable by the dealer.

thx, JP

 

Go to another dealer..
They we worried about law suits. Call before going.
Customizable means it's not illegal and safe.
I never refuse to do it.

 

Thx Mike, so no DIY ? My dealer will be bugging the hell out of me for a favorable review so I think I will hold on it till they do it. Either that or visit your dealership next time I go to boothbay harbor. Where are you anyways ?

Carista app. Works like a charm and you can change other stuff too

 

The dealer I go to for Maintenance did it with no questions at the first service. It is NOT user adjustable unless you have the apps, cables, software, etc.

You can find cheapeer adpters but I went with the Carista one for less hassle. App is free but $20 to make changes. Worth it IMO

 

Carista looks interesting, but does say Tacoma not supported. So you need the 40$ adapter and 20$ software ... What other useful things have you found it can do ?

From carista website:
Toyota (customizations and advanced diagnostics):

It works with the 2016, I used it in mine. Just search the forum there are many threads on this

 

I am driving right now otherwise I would post the information for you

 

Guys, A dealer will do it for free. No problems. If one tells you no just politely let them know that they have also lost your future business.

The reason i bought it was because i can make changes anytime without having to deal with the hassle of a dealer. Also, if the battery gets disconnected it may reset that change so i can just do it again myself without having to go back to the dealer. Less trips to the dealer the better.

 

I'm at the dealer now for my 5k. Asked the tech to turn it off and he said no problem. The other tech started going crazy saying we can't do that. I told him to just do it, so we'll see.

 

Hope it goes well. My Guy didn't say a word.

Wtf you're posting on TW and driving??

 

Like he said...the app lets you do amazing things. Hopefully it will upload pictures of the truck after he wraps it around a tree while posting.

 

Carista also lets you turn off the new car smell, I think.

 

They turned mine off.

 

best solution...it not only turns off the chime but raises the female end making it easier to buckle up. my dealer said no way orders from management...

Like others have posted there are apps ,software, cables,etc.
All depends how far you personally want to go and spend.

If your still stumped give me a heads up when your heading this way.

 

1 more for the Carista app and adapter. Made some changes last week, could've been sooner but didn't know immediately that my OBD fuse was blown.
