Hey folks,
Got myself a new 2022 platinum with all the bells n whistles and I gotta say i'm very impressed with all that tech crammed into the screen and dash.
one thing i hate is my seatbelt chime. before you press caps lock and tell em to put on my seatbelt, i do! all the time! i swear!!
but when i park, if i click off the seatbelt one second before i press P the chime starts and does not stop unless i turn off the car, which is a bother honestly.
Is there any way to disable it? in my old R51 there was a turn on/off, press gas twice, put key/remove key combo thingie that i used.

Get a short seatbelt extender and plug your belt into that. If you raise the belt slider on the B-pillar by a corresponding amount, you shouldn't have a slack problem and the chime will never sound.

Happy to hear it.
I hope you VStar' advice will work well for you.
Maybe you could post some pics of your new ride?
Or even a review?

No, just about anything you find out there will be built like a brick. The potential liability for a defective seatbelt product is so enormous (even in other countries) that no sane manufacturer takes any chances.
