I just 'drive through' the pain barrier of 2 mins chimes and come out the other end chime free if I dont want to belt up. The problem is I only choose not to belt up when only moving down the drive or a car park or something and have the same problems of nanny state intervention as other members and for that matter any other car driver of a car no older than about 5 years - all brands are the same. Well most, I have a 2011 commercial van that only displays the dash light when not wearing a belt and I am chime free to make my own descision. |

Seat Belt Dummy
I thought about the seat belt dummy tank. It'd have to be one that's like an extender, but without the extension, if you know what I mean. Since I still want to wear my seatbelt.
Someone from BMW actually wanted to take my complaint over the phone, so I'll update ya'lls when that's over. I told them it was a safety concern because we're creating work-arounds that disable, in one fashion or another, the warning chime. I was really hoping it was something they could fix with a software update. It's seems to me that it's probably more technical/software than hardware. But I don't know. Oh, a few more little tests... I think the chime is on a timer rather than speed. I got up to 40 mph the other day before the chime was triggered. Seems like it might be a 15-20 second timer. Not exactly sure, but the speed doesn't seem to trigger it.
