The red lights on dash still go bezerk they just don't beep

Disconnecting actual seat sensor isn't good idea

But I have a 2007 SR X-tra and I dont have a trip computer.

So I thought the switch idea would be the best option, because I kinda like the fact that I always wear my seat belt because of the beeper. But at times it can become very annoying.

So with the switch you get the best of both worlds and just flick a switch if its bothering you at the time. but then turn it back on for everyday driving.

I just tried this on my 2011 SR and it worked.Thanks heaps guys, I may keep my sanity now.

It's done in the odo menu not trip computer

Disabling the beeper doesn't disable airbags

Cutting cables does (whether by a switch or just unplugging).

I don't get it. Why don't you just disable the beeper the way designed it to be disabled ?

Because before owning this car I never used to wear my seatbelt, and now its automatic.

If I just disable it, I might go back to my old ways

which could be an expensive move!

Does this trick work on the 2012 models aswell?

id say so, its the same car as it was in 2012, except for cosmetic stuff and a few other inclusions.

Yep did it with my Sr 2012 today, worked 1st time. When I left the dealer yesterday I told him about the mod and that it would be the first thing I would do. He was sceptical at the least and said if it's true then his service blokes would be doing it to all the Hilux's. Seems the knowledge on this forum surpasses Toyota itself.
Thanks guys.

Awesome, putting up with that for years, thanks .Doug

i bought a dog restraint lead and just plug it in when i don't need the seat belt $2 cheap shop

I just press the buttons in the Toyota system menu and disable it by design $0 !

Just do it as Qwerty says,,,,its a piece of piss.....even a dinosoar like myself can manage it ! And all our Hiluxs at work are now disabled thanks to this thread.....

I disabled two today.

Thank you, this worked a treat on my brand new 2012 SR5 !!! Now to figure out how to disable key beep, I'm sure this is on here somewhere.

ok<br /><br />under the steering wheel colum is 1 screw holding the plastic on, remove it<br /><br /><br />then turn the steering wheel 1/4 turn left, remove thr screw behind the wheel, repeat for 1/4 turn tot he right<br /><br />remove lower column cover<br /><br />on the ignition barrel is a white plug with only 2 wires, one is green and 1 a cream / beige colour from memoery<br /><br />unplug this, and replace the column cover.<br /><br />i have found no issues after doing this as it is just a loop wire that detects key in lock barrell<br /><br />the headlights etc still beep

Cheers for the original post Eric it worked first time on my 2009 2.5d Hilux.
I hope you dinna mind but its so helpful I`ve reposted it on the Hilux forum in the U.K.

Bestist and most sanity saving mod ever...period!!
Just done this on mine. Thanks heaps!!

Mine still blinks. I often look down at my blinky bill friend and think "geez life must suck without feet".

Could someone have messed with my sensor?

went through the odo b-off stuff this morning no problem. no more seat belt beeper
