CAN YOU DISABLE THE seatbelt notification?

[Houcat]

BTW this technique worked for me. The chimes are now deactivated. I didn't even realize it until I drove the truck two blocks to the stop sign before I put my seat belt on. I don't even notice the warning on the screen. Thanks for the tip!

If you disable the presence sensing in the back seats in forscan that makes the seat belt notification on the dash auto dismiss as soon as you buckle in up front, just in case you don't want to entirely disable the feature. That's the option I went with and have been very happy with it.

You can even still see the buckle status of the back seats on the screen if you wait to buckle yourself in last. (It clears the notification as soon as you do). I was quite happy to discover this recently.

Here are the practical options:


1. Buckle properly
The sensor is triggered by the belt latch — so if it’s fastened correctly, the chime stops.


2. Check for vehicle/programmer options
Some Ram trucks allow certain reminders to be adjusted or muted via the Uconnect settings or aftermarket programmers, but this varies by trim and region. Always check your owner’s manual first.


3. Aftermarket modules (with caution)
There are modules and guides online that walk through how people have disabled belt reminders on other vehicles. If you do research, make sure the method is safe and reversible — and understand that interfering with safety systems may affect warranty or compliance where you live.


I came across a detailed walkthrough on possible approaches here:

Even if you don’t use everything in that guide, it may give you a sense of what is and isn’t possible on newer vehicles.
