Annoying Seat Belt Reminder alarm
On the 2006 WRX the Suubsters decided on installing an alarm which beeps 3 times every 5 seconds to remind you to fasten your seatbelt. Does anyone out there know how to disable this feature. The owners manual says it can be disabled but it doesn't say how. I have also notice that it knows your in motion once you let off the e-brake. As a last resort I will be forced to disassemble the center console and keep the switch under the e-brake open, but If I do that then my daytime running lights won't turn on. Please help!!
P.S. I always wear my seatbelt : )

Annoying Seatbelt alarm problem solved
Turn your key to the accesory (right before the ignition) then buckle and unbuckle your seatbelt 20 times in 30 second (without sitting in the seat is easiest). May take more then one try. Sounds odd but i did it and it worked.

I tried the buckle unbuckle thing. It caused my cruise control light to flash and my check engine light to come on. The car idled at about 2,500 RPMs. So i turned it off and restarted are took a few tries but it started. so i tried the buckle and unbuckle thing again and it turned the cruise and check engine light off. Everything seems fine again but nothing happened to the annoying beep. It was really bizarre. I have a 06 2.5i.

Just unbolt the front two bolts on the driver seat and loosen the back ones. Then remove the white clip that has two black wires going to it. That should eliminate the beep. I just did it on my 06 STI.

This is the most rediculous string I have read in quite some time - here is the deal, this work for other issues as well but works great for this one.
You have or need to find an old Nintendo Controler (Yes, this is the same solution I have posted before).
Jam the male Nintendo Controler connection into the female ecu-access plug under your steering wheel. This is the most difficult part of the process. If you need to, take a soft rubber mallet and pound it in - this will prevent you from hurting anything.
Once in, turn your cars ignition on. Wait for a few minutes for the car to warm up.
Take the controler and type in the following code.
1) Up
2) Up
3) Down
4) Down
5) Left
6) Right
7) Left
8) Right
9) "B"
10) "A"
11) "Select"
12) "Start"
This should clear up your issues.
If this doesn't work, you need to drop some flow on a EcuTek Reflash or Cobb Accessport and go into your ECU programing and turn of the seatbelt alarm function.
