Anybody know how a seatbelt chime work? Ya know the ones that "ding ding ding" if you start the car and not put your seatbelt on in like 5 seconds?
My '05 Subaru will do that if I don't immediately put on my seatbelt even when in park. If the engine is statered.
Does it use a contact sensor in the back of the seatbelt receptor or does it use some kind of electric closed circuit with the metal clip?
I'm posting this to a subaru forum but wonder if any car nuts here would know. Don't want to disable the buzzer and wondering if it might be easier just to fake the sensor into thinking it's always on.
Before the PC hounds go ballistic. I always wear my seatbelt, but not always when sitting in my driveway in park and putting CDs in the CD changer.
