There has been quite a bit of discussion (and threads) on this before, with some people disabling the seatbelt warning successfully, others not. I managed it with my previous Rav 4 and IS200, so was fairly sure it could be done on other models. After a couple of unsuccessful attempts yesterday, it worked on my 2004 RX300 SE-L as follows:

Sit in car, close door, turn IGN to ON (the last position before starting the engine, but no need to actually start engine) and set Odometer to full mileage reading (ie not trip A or B)

Turn off, remove key

Re-insert key, turn back to ON (as above)

Press and hold ODO button for 30 seconds (may be OK with less, but 30 worked for me)

whilst still pressing ODO button, clip in seatbelt

b_on or b-off appears in ODO display

take finger off ODO button, and press again to change between b_on (bleeper on) and b_off (bleeper off)

unclip belt and turn off ignition to set

I just tried it again as above, and it definitely works.

I'm not suggesting you can now drive without a seatbelt on, but it stops the damn thing bleeping in a car park or wherever else you may prefer not to have the belt clipped in.

Tried several times this without success. I am quite sure that I did follow the instructions to the letter. I think it only worked with the slight alteration:

- I turned the ignition to ON whilst pressing the ODO button and I clipped the seat belt within 5-10 seconds after turining on the ignition. I think the time to clip the seat belt is very i portant in this procedure.

Thanks!!

There are some guys here with a lot of experience in tweaking their cars.

I could not find an answer for my problem.

I have a 2003 RX3 (mk1). I do not have the NAV installed.

Is it at all possible to connect a computer to the NAV connection in the boot such that the touchscreen would work with the computer and I can load in the computer navigation and mp3 player software?

I wish so much that the answer is yes, however tedious the procedure is.

Thanks,
