Seat Belt Chime

BP is just fine. Dumbasses are a hobby of mine.

And why is that?

 

Other than the seatbelt chime, what can you customize that can't be done via the dash system? Just wondering, since the android app description is vague.

 

Dude...diffuse...don't click on the thread....simple as that!



If people only posted original subjects/questions on TW it would have been closed by now.

 

Limited lubrication.

 

Oh gotcha. I thought you were talking about actual ambient temperatures and hinting at letting your engine idle for a while before driving

 

I'm getting the carista app. I'll let everyone who is interested know. Others... Can't we get a bong.

 

Whoops my bad... Can't we get along

 

Nah, usually it because I waited too late to walk to a meeting or I'm picking up some boxes from the main office or something. I do walk most of the time, but it's annoying AF that beeper is going off.

 

I just went to my dealer and asked them to do it and they didn't even know how. They told me to get a seat belt extender

 

Unacceptable. It's their job to know. They should do it in about a minute for free.

 

That's ridiculous! I would have kept walking down the line of service advisors until someone actually knew what they were talking about. Slackers! Take it elsewhere and your business if it's possible.

 

When you used the Carista app does it stay off after you no longer pay for the app?

 

Not sure how the airbags work in the tacoma but my girlfriend wrecked a mazda and had the seatbelt clip things you do. Deployed pass airbag even though nobody was in that seat. Ended up being another like 2600 to replace that bag and part of dashboard. Lesson learned, just had dealer disable chime on my tacoma

 

Did this actually work? Their site makes it seem as if the 3rd gen is unsupported. https://caristaapp.com/vehicles/toyota/tacoma/3rd-gen/2017/usa

 

It did actually work. I bought it on Amazon for like 30 bucks and it came with a one month free trial. I used it for my truck once, took me less than 5 min to do, and havent used it since. does have some features you can do without the subscription but you need the subscription for the seat belt chime.

 

Just close the switch in the receiving part of the seat belt. No light, no ding. Done!

 

That works for the driver's seat, but will disable the passenger airbags if done to the passenger's set belt.

 

I only did it to the driver's seat. Why would it disable the passenger airbag?

 

I have no idea why, but it does. I learned the hard way, and afterward I found that it states in the owners manual that if the pass seat belt is buckled before someone sits in the pass seat the air bags are turned off. My dash light showing "airbag off" confirmed that.
