Yes, I wear my seatbeat all the time, but this warning sound should go off when the car is in gear, not the second the key is turned on. That being said, there is an easy way to stop this sound without taking the car apart. First you need about 10 minutes and a #10 security torks bit. The bit is not something you can find very easy, but there is a easy way around this. Pickup a #10 bit which you can find at most hardward or lumber stores. File the tip down so it is flat and drill a hole down the middle. A drill press is the best way to do this. Start slow and let the drill bit do the work. You need a hole only about 1/8" deep. Now go to the driver side seatbelt buckle and remove the two screws holding the case together. Now that it is open, buckle the seat belt and watch what it does. You should see a small plastic piece (red in color if I remember) with a little copper plate on it. As the buckle goes in it moves a contact from the copper piece to plastic . Just take a small screw drive or pick and pop that copper piece out. Before you put things back together just make sure your buckle clicks in like it did before. That plastic piece needs to be there for the buckle to work.
This only effects the seatbelt warning all other safety and warning features work just fine.

Read this post down a few by rbuet. I did this and I am chime free. :banana: Thanks brother. :thumbsup: A readily available torx bit works here just fine. http://www.hyundai-forums.com/t21123-remov...nsor-buzzer.htmDarn I can drive around all day without my belt on and throw caution to the wind WITHOUT that annoying noise. :w00t: I always wear it anyway, but I can go "beltless" while waiting for the car to warm up, at the bank, etc. Best "mod" I have done to date. :clap:

I just fixed my annoying chime. I removed the 2 security torx screws of the buckle (driver's side) using a jeweler's screwdriver, then removed the small sliding black piece that holds the contacts for the sensor. After taping it into the buckle for future reinstall is ever needed (like upon resale), I reinstalled the screws. No more chime when the belt is not fastened, but the chime still works for all other functions, like key in the ignition and the door open. Since I ALWAYS wear my belt, I don't need a reminder to buckle up. PLEASE PLEASE, if you need a reminder to use your seatbelts, DO NOT DO THIS!!! Seatbelts really do save lives and lessen the severity of injuries. Good luck to all, and remember BUCKLE UP AND LIVE. Happy motoring :57:
