Cheap Seatbelt Chime Fix!!! For 2016+ Tacomas

Bought this seatbelt extender for my 2016 Tacoma (driver and passenger). Not sure if this will fit 2nd gens. I don't recommend driving unbuckled, but if you do a lot of in-n-out driving in slow speed limit areas, this product works great and it's a cheap & instant chime fix. It's seems to be built well and the thickness of the metal buckle is OEM in appearance.

Here's the Amazon link I used: Rhino 3 inch Seat Belt Extenders - For Cars Trucks & Vans with a 7/8" buckle. Carries Rhino Fitment Guarantee https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00SDMJLQ6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_BlLTxbR2JGADQ

 

Nice!

 

Solved the ding problem with those extension too, at first. But then I heard on this forum about Carista. I Don't need the extensions now as I used my Caristaapp to turn the chime off in the software. Also added a 2 more Blinks to 5 on my lane change quicky blinker.

 

what is Caristaapp?

 

I just got one of these.


Why buckle up when drinking and driving??

 

This^ I use the same.

 

Or you can ask the dealer to deactivate the chime

 

Or you can do it yourself. Page 592-599 in your owner's manual.

 

I moved the seat belt extenders out of my Colorado when I traded it off 9 months ago. If you have a big belly like mine it makes it easier to buckle the seat belt!

 

Pardon me!

 

I built some keys to fit mine. Small aluminum with a parachord tether.
Good luck getting the dealer to turn it off as well. I thrower a hissy fit with my 15' Tacoma trying to get them to turn the dinger off and they flat refused.

 

Craven Speed has this for $20

 

somehwat unrelated, but anyone who has had dealer disable the seatbelt chime, does your seatbelt indicator light flash nonstop now? or did they get mad about me asking and turned on another annoying option out of spite?

 

Had my '15 belt chime turned off by the dealer, beeps 5 times at start up, then no flashing or beeping.

 

i downloaded Caristaapp into my i-pad. how does it work, how do i connect it to the truck?

 

Need the hardware too

Some dealers won't disable the chime. They are afraid that if someone gets into a accident without wearing a seatbelt, that they will be sued.

 

I cant speak for an automatic equipped tacoma but you definitely cannot reach those settings in my mt.
