    Vehicle:
    Trd sport 2022 white with black wheels leveled with 285/70/r17's
    Leveling kit 2" , big tires , diamond back bed cover.. pro grill and I removed the center piece from the cup holder...that's about it.
    Does anyone know exactly what it's listed under the seatbelt alarm? I have a dongle and app and I can see anything or change most anything I believe though I'm hesitant to go into the changes that can mess things up. I would love to kill that alarm and make my speedo correct with the 285/70/r17s I can math it in the obd fusion app and get correct speed and get correct mog but I want to get a little deeper in the computers settings.. I know there are apps to do it but I'm sure I can with what I have I just need some guidance.. anyone? Thanks in advance I sure will appreciate the help.. i don't have Christa or plan to pay for it but i do have access yeh? I wouldn't mind making a few more changes but let's start simple.

    This post is sort of all over the place, but I’ll address a few things I know for sure.
    You won’t be able to correct your speedometer for bigger tires with any apps or dongles. It’s not something you can change with techstream either. The only product that will fix the speedo is a hypertech or rough country speedometer calibrator.
    You can’t make changes to the vehicles settings with the OBD fusion app which your title seems to suggest.
    You can pay $10 for one month of Carista and then cancel the subscription. You said you don’t have or plan to pay for it; Are you asking if you have access without paying for it or saying that you do?
    What app are you using to “see or change most anything” and why are you being so cryptic about it?

    All of the above is true.

    The seat belt warning cannot be changed/programmed either, only a physical alteration to the belt receptacle can do that. There is a speed related belt warning that can be changed/programmed.

    The audible seat belt warning can definitely be disabled with the Carista app.

    Not for my vehicle, neither Carista or TechStream could accomplish that feat. The speed related warning detailed in the owners manual was disable-able, the get in the vehicle and buckle up warning could not.

    I think this may be a model year discrepancy. In my 2019, the only audible seatbelt alarm is speed related. Good info for OP to take note of though, though since they are asking about a ‘22

    Seems pretty complicated. Why not just wear your seatbelt?

    While driving, highly agree; but there are people who do work (or are working on) in their stationary vehicles and the noise is annoying.

    Dog rides with me and he's just heavy enough to set off seat belt.

    2 reasons for me. My driveway is 200 ft long. After getting mail, I do not buckle up while I am slowly driving up to the house. I check on my plants while I do that.
    My truck is a daily driver/farm truck on the weeknights and weekends. I am constantly in and out of it watering trees, bushes, spraying, carrying lumber, gravel, mulch, etc. I do not buckle in to drive 20 ft to the next chestnut or linden.

    On my 22, the seatbelt chime can be disabled. When I had the truck tuned the tuner did it for me, but later down the line when I got Carista to disable it in our new Lexus I hooked it up to the Tacoma to confirm. Also found a couple more helpful settings:

    1. Turn off moonroof open reminder.
    2. Increase HVAC fan ramp up speed. Factory sets it to the middle, which I've found on hot summer days it takes up to 10 seconds form startup before the fan reaches max speed. It's slightly quicker now.

    I have an XTool D8, which has bi-lateral control (meaning it can tell the truck things, not just the truck telling it things).

    Every 3rd Gen Tacoma (I've done this to many now), can have the seatbelt chime disabled entirely.

    The light stays on in the gauge cluster, but no tone is ever emitted, regardless of speed/anything else.

    I figured it out.. just download carista and pay the 15 bucks to use it for a month it works with the 13$ veepeak for Android

    I'm confused. I disabled mine with the Carista app. Maybe they fixed the "vulnerability" in the 2021 then reintroduced it in 2022?

    I was confused too. I have Techstream and disabled the feature in the Customization screen; all the programming looked good, but there was still the busser activating when my seatbelt was not on and starting the truck. Got Clarita on the one-month deal and it too looked like it changed the feature in the programming - no change to the audible alert. No Joy so far.

    After many months I read the Owners Guide and found that it references "speed" - turns out I had been turning off & on the alert that activates when you do not have the seatbelt on at a certain speed with something seated in the seat. The programming had been working, just not on what I wanted to affect.

    Others on this forum with 2021 trucks seem to not have had a problem.

    I might have something "wrong" with my truck - I will never find out for sure as I did a physical switch deactivation.
