Yesterday I put up a post describing my experience with disabling the backup beep using the methodology posted by Frank Perkins in 'Turn off Reverse Beep - Mac Instructions.' While it is Mac-centeric it should work on a Windows PC with the proper drivers.

That got me thinking that with the proper codes I could also disable the seatbelt nag. I did a Google search and came up with a posting by SuperDog on the ScionLife forum. As the code entry procedure was very similar I decided to try it.

Following is the code script with some informative annotations:


>ath1
OK
* Turn on all headers so I can see it

>atl1
OK
* Turn on linefeed so I can read it

>at sp 6
OK
* Set the protocol to ISO 15765-4 CAN 11/500

>at dp
ISO 15765-4 (CAN 11/500)
* Display the protocol (make sure it took it)

>at caf1
OK
* Set auto formatting on so I can read it

>at sh 7c0
OK
* Set header to 7c0, that's where I'm going to send the command to

>21a7
7C8 03 61 A7 C0
* me - What's your seat belt setting?
* xB - My seat belt setting is set to annoy you, C0.

>3ba700
7C8 03 7F 3B 78
7C8 02 7B A7
* me - don't annoy me anymore
* xB - processing

>21a7
7C8 03 61 A7 00
* me - did you get that?
* xB - yeah I turned it off, don't you see the 00?
