    It seems to be going off whenever it feels like, with me perfectly buckled. Oddest thing of all is i adjusted the lumbar support all the way and it seems to of gone away. But i heard it again. so i guess this temp-fix was just that. any ideas on how to go about fixing this issue?

    It could be the passenger side sensor. The dealer can calibrate these.

    Have the dealer delete the seatbelt alarm. Do you really need a bell to remind you to put on the seatbelt?

    They may give some bullshit, saying its against the law to silence the chime, its not against the law.

    Made a bunch of stuff black.
    I found a thread on here that explained how to shut it off. I tried it and it worked perfectly, although I'm in a 2008. Not sure if it would work for you. Hope that helps.
