That worked!
I thought that was a joke, but thought I can get a good laugh at myself for trying to buckle 20 times in 30 sec. Well much to my suprise it work. Same 3 buzz's on start up then nada. my idle starts out at 1250 now before settling down - kinda strange as it did not do that before. 06 STI
What a weird way to enable that bypass.

How to turn it back on?
Hi all,
Has anyone tried to turn the seat belt chime back on? Would doing the 20 clicks within 30 seconds trick re-activate the seat belt alarm? Just wondering in case I want to reset it to sell my '06.
Thanks!

Will that buckle/unbuckle trick work on an 07 2.5i. I drove some frinds crazy because I left the car running to run in the house to get something. They got chimed to death haha

For those of you who don't have an 06-07 hte seatbelt light will beep like crazy when you start the car if your not buckled. and it is annoying if your just waiting for it to warm up, It even beeps when your not in the seat! it's retarded... I as all of you believe in wearing my seatbelt, but I usually start the car, buckle then drive. the impreza wants you to buckle, start then drive, which sucks if your tring to do something before you drive away...
the buckle/unbuckle thing worked!!!! (yay!)

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.
