Anyone know how I can deactivate the seat belt indicator chime? Without putting on my seat belt (I saw that coming a mile away). Is that something I can do myself or no? It's extremely annoying!

Thanks! I'll try it!

I'm glad you asked that question. It's been bugging me too and I haven't taken the time to read the manual about it (assuming it's even in there).

That chime is the most irritating noise ever. I'm about to go try & deactivate it.

Thanks also, I didn't think you could do anything about that.
How about when you unlock the door with the key fob. I'ts iritating to have to unlook the pass. side. Seems like I'm allways needing to get something on that side, but it's allways locked. I have to go around and unlock it, or push the key fob several times to unlock it. Sometimes it takes three tries. Very annoying for passangers also. I would like to push the key fob one time and open both doors period.
I know it's to keep a stranger from jumping in that side of the car, but I'd be gone by the time they figured how to get in the car.

Hey Skip, you can do that too. Mine is set up to unlock both doors with a single push of the buttom. It's in the manual, though I can't remember exactly where. Good luck.

After mentioning all the usual disclaimers about how it should always be worn, he is the fix.
Remove the seat and you will see a wiring connector at the seat belt base. There are simply two wires there, connect them together in a permanent fashion and your chime is gone.

Well I tried it. It seems to be a temporary fix to the problem. It works until I turn off the car and start it again. I guess I'm gonna have to pay my viper tech a visit.
Jason, no need to provide the disclaimers as when I need the light to be off is when I am wearing 6 point belts instead of the factory belts. I thought about jumping the connector at the back of the seat. Sounds like a good and permanent solution.

Cris. Please post a pic of the wires when the seat is out if you can.
Okay, this is a picture I took back when installing th ebelts. The small white connector to the rear (left) of the amp is the seat belt connector. There is a similar pigtail coming from the rear of the seat. No need to remove the seat to access the connectors. Just reach under the rear of the seat (with it moved full forward) and you will see the connector.

Thanks Cris. I see the connector coming from the rear of the seat and going into the carpet on my car. OK then, exactly which wires are we connecting? Sorry for my electrical ignorance.

I performed the procedure that is in the owners manual. Works fine, no chime since. The buckle seat belt light stays on but that isn't a big deal.
That means I must have done the procedure before. Very possible as buying in February ('03) gives lots of garage time to try everything. I am still thinking of the jump to eliminate the lamp. On the track one does not need any additional distractions!

I also did the seat belt connect-disconnect sequence and it has also solved the chime annoyance for me. The indicator light remains on as you said but no big deal.

I've been so busy since I bought it I haven't even had the time to really crack it open. Thought I'd get some quick info here. I'm definitely gonna get really familiar with it this evening and I'll report back.

Don't worry Trey, if my Viper was as slow as your SRT I wouldn't wear my seatbelt either.

Oh yeah. You did FINALLY get your car on the road after a year in a half didn't you. I hope your car is fast. NASA could've built something for space travel in that amount of time.

I don't know about NASA, but my GTS is going to look like the Space Shuttle from the view out of your windshield.

That's what your mouth says now. What's the old adage? Run whatcha' brung and hope you brought enough. I'll tell you now you aint got enough. And I'll tell you on race day you aint got enough. Losing to you is not an option. There's always someone faster. But alas.....
YOU AINT HIM!
