Thread: Kill the Hilux seat belt beep in 2 minutes !

I have put up with the seatbelt beep long enough on the Hilux. I've asked Toyota and auto sparky - no joy " the beeps there for a reason" I thought it was the Hilux or the mental hospital....
Anyway turns out there is actually a way to switch it on and off without a hammer:

Did it this morning and the beep is dead

You could always just put it on.

With the PX and PX2 ranger. Not sure about PX3. You get in the seat, turn the ignition to on, plug in and unplug the seat belt 5 times in 30 sec then turn ignition off.

To do the passenger side you need someone to sit in the seat.

Killing the Ranger "keys left in ignition on exit" warning is apparently a lot harder. I had my seatbelts done ages ago, great on farms with multiple gates.

Looks like I can do my Sub as well. Thanks for starting the thread.

Plug and unplug seatbelt 20 times in 30 seconds.
Or was that 30 times in 20 seconds....?

Bloody annoying at the range. Currently after opening the first gate I plug the seatbelt in and sit on it.

This only works on the 2005 - 2015 KUN26R, no good for the current model GUN126R.

Pretty sure that’s the case because I think it’s the first thing we tried to do when we got the first batch of GUN126R, when it didn’t work we looked it up and a presto they had removed this particularly useful work around… for safety reasons.

Yeah, mines a 2014, and I did it the day I drove it off the showroom floor.

When my lad was running late model hilux he had a spare buckle in the console for such an occasion.

You can just unplug the white plug under the drivers seat in the 2020 lux and no more beep too

I was told that unplugging stuff or flattening beepers with a hammer, whilst very satisfying can bugger up stuff in the vehicle computer. That might be BS I dont know.

Yes, I watched a Youtube clip last night of a guy demonstrating getting into the guts of his dash to disconnect the chime. WTF! The chime in my car (most modern cars) will have other important functions as well not just a seat belt warning..

But the you stiff up a lot of other features.

It can be turned of easy enough at he dealership using the GTS diag tool. Go into the customisation settings and turn off the warning beepers.
5mins to do, but you need the dealership to do it for you.
I do it a lot and we don't charge for it. Its for customer satisfaction

Same with my older Rav & the wife's Mitsi Outlander. Plug under seat - done.

I'm off to the wreckers for some old seat belt webbing for a project. Will get a couple of spare buckle plugs at the same time. Handy going across the farm getting in and out every few minutes, opening and closing gates.

the iveco fert sower squeals like castrated pig if have door open and handbrake off...... beeps loudly if seatbelt not on....its a pig of a truck....
