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.

I had to turn the key past the first accessory though right before the ignition... The no seat belt sign still flashes but there is NO MORE SOUND!!! Thanks for the tip!!!

Whomever wrote the post about buckling and unbuckling the seatbelt 20 times in 30 seconds is correct. I am a tech at a Subaru dealership and have turned off the chime on my 06 STi and 05 LGT when i had it and that is the correct way recommended by Subaru on the tech site to shut off the seatbelt warning indicator chime. Also sitting in the seat or not, it doesn't make a difference

People that do NOT own an 06 Subaru really need to learn and mind their own business.

btw, i did the buckle/unbuckle trick and it worked, but mines beeps/flashes 3 times upon start up and thats it, no more beeping unless i shut off and restart.

It's not a big deal if you just get in and buckle up and go, but if you like to warm your car up in the morning, and like to do other things in the car without being restricted with a belt, the fix is worthwhile. It is by no means a measure to avoid wearing a seatbelt.
I couldn't have put it better myself!!!
