This is the easiest way to turn off the Seat Belt Chime with out leaving your belt plugged in behind you when you don't want to wear your seat belt. I have a pair and they work great.

Just thought i would share this since i know a few topics have been started over "turning off the seat belt chime".

You're welcome... I hate that chime; once I found these at that price i thought i can't go wrong trying so i did. I haven't had the chime since. Just be careful when you get them and you push the red button to unclick it. If you are not holding it, it will rocket launch out of the plug.

There is a way to disable the chime by the way. It's listed in the full user manual. I disabled it on mine due to it being a pain in the butt when I'm hunting as I drive around farm fields and am often exiting/entering my Jeep.

The following steps must occur within the first
60 seconds of the ignition switch being turned to the
ON/RUN or START position. Chrysler Group LLC does
not recommend deactivating BeltAlert.

1. With all doors closed, and the ignition switch in any
position except ON/RUN or START, buckle the driver’s
seatbelt.

2. Turn the ignition key to the ACC or ON/RUN position
(do not start the engine), and wait for the Seat Belt
Reminder Light to turn off.

3. Within 60 seconds of starting the vehicle, unbuckle
and then re-buckle the driver’s seat belt at least three
times within 10 seconds, ending with the seat belt
buckled.

4. Turn the ignition key to the OFF position. A single
chime will sound to signify that you have successfully
completed the programming.

NOTE: Watch for the Seat Belt Reminder Light to turn
on while the seat belt retracts and turn off while rebuckling
the seat belt.

I used this combo to disable it on my 2008 WK but with the push button start on the WK2 i just never tried. I like the adapters cause it also gets rid of the light (not that it's annoying) just so i don't eventually burn out the bulb in the dash for it.

I too disabled my seat belt chime.
It was actually very easy - as outlined above by RageOfFury.

I wasn't aware of this until I received and read the FULL Owners Manual.
It only takes a few minutes, and from then on, only the seatbelt light will come on and stay on solid (it doesn't flash annoyingly either).

Thanks Jeep :thumbsup:

I wear mine all the time and so does the wife.

But it is very f'ing annoying to have the damn thing go nuts if your passenger needs to unbuckle for a minute or so to reach something in the rear seat.

Doubly so, when just backing out of the garage and the wife hasn't put on the seat belt yet (and down a 70 foot driveway).

After following all the step in this thread to the letter and time interval, I'm still unable to turn it off... Even after getting the single chime at the end of the process..

Interesting. What's your model year?

I will note that while this technique does disable the *chime*, the *warning* still appears in EVIC (it can be dismissed by pressing the OK button)... at least that's how it operates on my 2014. Just wanted to check we are discussing the same consideration.

This worked for me:
1. Get inside car with ignition off.
2. Close doors and buckle seat belt in drivers side.
3. Push the push start button to ACC/Run Mode (do not turn on engine). This means only push the push start button, no need to depress brake, doing so will turn engine on, a big no no.
4. Wait for red seat belt light to turn off.
5. Unbuckle and rebuckle seat belt at least 3 times ending with seatbelt buckled. ( I unbuckled and rebuckled 4 times and it worked)
6. Push the push start button (turns off display). You will hear a single chime if you succeeded.

Just tried this on my 2015 with no success. I did get the single chime at the conclusion of the operation, but after starting the Jeep later, the reminder chime is still there. Maybe FCA disabled the ability to do this on the '15's ?
From page 51 of the 2015 owners manual. Download one, they come in handy. :thumbsup: There are UTube vid's that work for a 2015 Cherokee and Wrangler that show the procedure described here.


"BeltAlert can be activated or deactivated by your authorized
dealer. FCA US LLC does not recommend deactivating
BeltAlert.


NOTE:
If BeltAlert has been deactivated, the Seat Belt
Reminder Light will continue to illuminate while the driver’s or outboard front passenger’s (if equipped with
BeltAlert) seat belt remains unbuckled."
