Yup, the airbag deployment is timed as a function of speed at impact and deceleration so it inflates at just the right time to stop your head from smashing into the steering wheel. At that point, your head will be ~18" away, give or take a few depending on sitting position.
Surprised the fact that not everyone wears shades, means your eyes could be at risk even if the skin wasn’t broken. But I suppose they’re in California, so everyone wars shades.
I was thinking the same thing, also that test face was dramatically to resilient. the fact that spikes tore into the wood but bounced off the face makes me think it's not a good comparison.
I was, wasn’t really close to an accurate recreation of a situation where the airbag would deploy. Not too many people are sitting still when those go off…
The seatbelt clip actually worked great. My passenger seat sensor in my BMW was messed up, and always thought someone was sitting in it, triggering the fasten seatbelt light and beep constantly. It was cheaper than replacing the sensor and just removed it when someone sat in that seat.
Yeah, it doesn't look that bad as far as those things hitting you anywhere on your body or face. Maybe a scratch or bruise, but if one of those hit you in the eye, especially if it was open, you're vision won't ever be the same. The spikes must have been metal. That looked like it could kill you.
And if you wear glasses they will just turn in more shrapnel right in front of your eyes. Call me a coward, but two centimeters from my eye is not a place where I want shrapnel.
@@simonspacek3670 so i guess by that logic, driving with your eyes closed has the least problems overall if you like to bedazzle your wheel. XD Glasses take more force to break than that bedazzle can do in majority of cases, the eyes are more vulnerable.
@@Django45 Closing eyes is about as fast as deploying airbag. And it would be interesting to test is airbag can send a stone through glasses. My guess is that it will depend on speed and glass thickness, so there will be no definitive answer, but who knows?
The last product reminds me of the largest recall in automotive industry, Takata airbag recall. The airbag will send shrapnel into your face instead of land into the airbag
I have one of those cars. I'm told it's already been warrantied but also there was a recall for the replacement bags too so now I don't know what to think.
The sunvisor displays are only "Certain Death" if used improperly. I had similar (but much higher quality) sunvisors in my '06 Grand Caravan for like ten years. It was great for allowing the front seat passenger to watch a movie on long road trips, and a rather funny coincidence, but you actually named my primary use of the driver's sunvisor monitor. I am a Private Investigator and Security Guard and would often watch movies on it during long surveilance jobs, or low risk overnight watches. I'd also occasionally use it to review footage while still keeping my cameras available to record. It's far less distracting than using a laptop as I can keep my head up and still be watching outside the vehicle as opposed to looking down at my lap or the passenger seat.
@@simonspacek3670 Had a friend who was big into car modification. He "deleted" his rearview mirror and used a custom sunvisor with a lower hight and screen with a camera to replace it. worked surprisingly well... the chats with the cops next to the road though...
The ballistic gel head looked like it didn't have a skull inside it, so it wobbled and dispersed the impact a little more than one with a rigid shape. Those things definitely would have done damage at the speed they flew at the head.
You can also consider with the "bedazzled" airbag, the drivers head is usually moving towards the steering wheel rapidly so I'd guess it would be even worse
@@Kuma-ojisan I'd be less worried about eyes than I would about your airway. I imagine those gems aren't very healthy to have in your nose, throat, lungs, etc.
The seatbelt clip is useful in some cases. Back when I used to deliver pizza in my 86 the slightly heavier pizza orders would set off the passenger seat dinging.
Wow, you monster. Fucking buckle the pizza. Do you want ANYTHING to happen to the pizzas in the event of some rude braking ? You're lucky I don't know where you live !
That seabelt thing is very useful when carrying items on the seat. When I drive to the fish and chip shop I put the bag on the seat and often get the annoying beeps until I safely strap the food in. They should have said "do not use when a person is sitting in the seat"
It’s a wonder car manufacturers haven’t thought of that problem. A new issue is apparently back seatbelt alarm which go off when a child seat (secured with the isofix points) is in the back and it detects the weight of it
@jic1 IF I remember correctly, a claymore is specifically designed as an anti-personnel weapon, so lots of small pieces of shrapnel flying at high speed. Either way, the only thing the typical airbag is missing to be an AP grenade is the shrapnel. Then again, I've got nothing against the human race being improved via Darwinism, especially by people who want to help the Dareinism remove them.
As a fluffy wheel owner, I gotta say they're actually very practical. I get calluses and splinters/minor infections from doing work or art a lot and it's 1000's of times less painful than a normal cover. Not to mention it's not hot in summer, yet good for winter. Shedding is definitely something you gotta manage though.
@@neoleo593 I can't find the study for that. do you still have access to it? I thought the increased effectiveness of the Hans was due to the helmet weight increasing the torque on the neck in a crash. I can't find a study that says the restraint system itself is more dangerous in an accident than the normal seat belt. if this study is well done, we could probably get Hans devices integrated in the military since most of the vehicles and aircraft use 5 or 6 point harnesses.
@@cheddarsock it's more the lack of airbags and the sudden momentum you get when in an accident, your neck and head isn't restrained so you run the risk of snapping your neck and bludgeoning yourself on the roll cage
The first product- I’ve used something like it for when my dogs are in back. Keeps them from triggering the sensor and distracting my driving when I’m getting them to the vet (they have doggie seatbelts for longer trips)
@@misterdeluxia5948 put your bag in the footwell, problem solved! 💁♂️ Also don't have to worry about your bag falling down in an emergency brake maneuver anymore
@Deto Qcney First off, my condolences. Second, and that's just the ones that actually buy those instead of just letting the speaker that plays the alarm burn itself out.
I used the "bluetooth seatbelt" in the passenger seat of my Miata because I've often have groceries or such there. Then I removed the passenger seat entirely, which solved that problem.
Removing a passenger seat sounds like something a Miata driver would do. I'm not saying that out of contempt - have you ever watched Miata drivers in a cone race? They're nuts compared to the BMW and Honda drivers. They go balls-out around those turns. I love it! 🙂
@@Dogvinity I mostly did it so my large dog could go for rides in the Miata without having her nose pressed against the windshield . . . but yeah, it's a very Miata thing to do. I still have the passenger seat in case I ever want to put it back. It's in the spare bedroom.
This. I sometimes set my cell phone on the passenger seat and it's heavy enough to set off the sensor so I have to buckle AN EMPTY SEAT. Will order today.
I actually use the "Bluetooth seatbelt" in my Impala although I just bought one from a junkyard instead of ordering something from Amazon. I use it as the detection sensor in the passenger seat is stupidly oversensitive to the point that the miniscule amount of power running through an Aux cable from my iPod will set it off. (Yes, I still use an iPod. I do a fair amount of travel in areas where cell reception is not a given so I like having backup music.)
@@andream9470I would love to think that as well but have seen people that just buckle their seatbelt and sit on top of it so I know this would be used to achieve the same thing.
I actually bought the seatbelt alarm thingies for my mom. She puts her stuff on the passenger seat and her car thinks someone is sitting there and it triggers the chime. With this she doesnt have to reach for the seatbelt on the passengers side everytime she puts her bag on the seat. These just sit in her cupholder now :)
My car has the "Dingding" for the back seat. I have a seatbelt for my doggo, but it allows her to move around the back seat and laydown... Sometimes she lays down on the opposite seat... and then the "Dingding ding" starts. Only reason I have this.
The seatbelt clip is actually very useful. If you work in trade and cant afford a van, you have to use a car. If you are transporting heavy items like bags of plaster or paint then you will at some point have to put it on the seat which sets off the alarm. Sometimes it can be difficult to plug the seatbelt so one of these would make the job faster and easier.
I deliver newspapers and that seatbelt clip would be perfect for the passenger seat as the weight of papers sets the sensor off. Did not know there was such a thing thanks Donut!
@Koi Zo A screwdriver has the potential to fall out of the buckle in a car wreck and then somehow get lodged in your leg, stomach, or neck if your car gets flipped over. I think the purchased buckle's better.
The way James reads Amazon reviews will never get old. Exactly the voice I hear in my head when I read them. Newcomer to the channel. Love the content!
For the visors on a LEO stake out, I could actually see it working; either connect them to the front and rear bumper cameras, or install a couple panoramic cameras to utilize the screen width. You’d be able to be aware of more without looking like your looking around 🤷♂️👍👍
I actually have a friend who uses one of those seat belt clips, but not to avoid wearing a seat belt. She uses it because sometimes when she puts her bag on the passenger seat, it's heavy enough to trigger the beeping noise even though nobody is sitting there.
the Bluetooth seat belt is actually useful in some applications. working on a farm, certain jobs require you to be in and out of the truck repeatedly while not leaving the field. we used them for this purpose only though
We used to use them when I was an Amazon driver lol, all the Prime vans had one. I personally only used mine in neighborhoods when I'd be constantly jumping in and out of the van.
@@mangotail6808 hey man, i grew up with a car that had a mini tv screen for the back passengers. It was cool as hell watching wall-e on it, and probably kept me tame in the back seat.
I bought a boss audio radio and it has the ability for rca inputs, so after some adapters I can run whatever I want, currently there’s an Xbox hooked up and it’s all wired to play while the car is moving, I made a trip with some friends a while ago and they were playing Mario kart on the wii while we were moving
There is one legitimate use for the seatbelt clip that made me consider one before my situation changed making it less necessary. I drive a coupe, sometimes (for my previous job, a lot of times) its more convenient to put stuff on the passenger seat. This clip could be handy instead of awkwardly leaning over to clip your seatbelt in even though the items will just slip under/over it anyway.
The bedazzled airbag was actually less injurious than I expected, but still a hard no. And I had assumed it was just one person doing it - I didn't realise it was a trend or anything. Guess we'll see it tested for real at some point.
I think the big thing is that plenty of people have bedazzled their steering wheel with actual crystals, which have a lot more weight to them. The plastic ones probably are fairly harmless, assuming they don't directly hit you in the eye. But rocks? Not so much.
I actually love my infinity rear view mirror because it makes my mirror bigger to see more and it is a completely normal mirror when it’s turned off. So long as you don’t drive with it on, all it actually does is add to your visibility
The seatbelt simulator actually has a few legitimate uses: -people with racing seats and harnesses that still retain the factory seatbelts for street use -people that put heavy bags or other items on the passenger seat -use cases where a truck is used to haul things short distances at low speeds where a seatbelt isn't really necessary and the driver is regularly in and out (think a truck that hauls things around a multi-building warehouse compound)
well, you don't need to bought a seatbelt clip for those, just clip the seatbelt and sit, it does same thing. but still, seatbelt is important, I have an aunt and she got accident, break her skull and comma for 1 year before she finally give up and she died. at that time she sit as a back passenger, not waring seatbelt and as we commonly know back seater not always use seatbelt. so wear your seatbelt even you're a back passenger.
@@aristondarmayuda1451 You literally didn't read anything I posted. I never once said to go out on public roads, especially at speed, without a seatbelt. However, if you're driving around private property to haul heavy objects around at 10 mph, you really don't need a seatbelt.
@@aristondarmayuda1451 tell us you've never sat in a racing seat without telling us you've never been in a racing seat. The belt holes are in a different position because of the high bolstering and it would be uncomfortable af and you'd probably end up damaging your seatbelt from sitting on it like that because of the constant tension
I deliver groceries at the door in a mini truck. I mostly drive villages, outskirts, suburbs and city centre. This would be ideal, but not for me, I'd rather have the beeping noise that reminds me to put on the seatbelt, so when i have a 15 min or 40 min drive i dont forget to put on the seatbelt. Instead of not hearing the beeping noise any more and forgetting to put on seatbelt because i am used to hop in and out the van. Short slow distances i drive with out seatbelt. Unless i am in my personal car, i always wear a seatbelt
The sun visors actually may serve a very useful purpose if they’re good enough and can display multiple sources at the same time via split screen. You could hook them up to cameras and actually be able to see what’s behind you and beside you especially when trying to reverse.
My work truck uses a monitor (split screen) to see the hitch and what's behind me, I always leave it on and honestly if it was only on the visor and i had to fold it down constantly that would get super annoying and would sketch me out changing lanes
That's true! This would be perfect for an older model car that doesn't have any cameras. If I could use it like that, I would love to have one for my POS.
The seatbelt clip is often used for the passenger seat when your bags (School bag/Work bag, Groceries, Purse) weigh enough for them to register as a person causing the seatbelt Alarm to go off.
I enjoy how the team has expanded over the years, guys like Jobe, Jerry and Justin have been great adds to the team. I just really hope this change doesn’t go down the same road as a channel like hngn and deviate further from the content that made them great the bigger and bigger they get
Donut slums it on purpose. You can tell they have excellent product managers and marketing teams. Seems they're paying attention to the base, The podcast has slowly added increasingly more paid promotion, so maybe they're trying to maintain its viability as a different medium.
is it the personality of the hosts that keep viewers? or is it typical of this channel to have 9 minutes of filler after an ad so you get slightly under two minutes of content?
So hilarious, I actually bought that same Bluetooth seat belt. I like to use my factory 3-point harness on the street but switch to a 4-point harness for autoX and don't want to hear my alarm going off.
I could see the seat belt thing if you put a lot of stuff in the car seats and don’t want the beeping or if ur car is messed up and will beep no matter if there’s weight on the seat or not, not sure how that would happen though.
If that happens, you really should take it to a dealer and avoid having anyone on the passanger until you do. The car uses information about the weight of the passenger to know when to deploy the airbag, if its staying on when nobody is in it, it's not doing that correctly and could fire at the wrong time. A lot of issues with those systems have a transferable lifetime warranty, so there is a very good chance the dealer will get it fixed for free or relatively low cost.
That seat belt plug would be handy to have if you have something in your passenger seat that isn't another human and weighs like 3 pounds that your car decides is a worthy thing to activate the passenger air bags for. It's also pretty amusing to see an air bag turned into a claymore for science.
you could still clip the seatbelt behind the object without the seatbelt interacting with the object. that way you dont need to spend however much that dumb clip is.
the seatbelt thing is actually something usefull. i have a car with a very anoying seatbelt alarm and when i am at a farm and have to constantly get out ou the car to open and close gates i really wish i had something like that. in this situation the car is moving at very low speed inside a private property, so no real danger.
Most modern cars have a way to turn off the chime. For subarus it's something like turn the key to on (not start), buckle and unbuckle 20 times in under 30 seconds, turn key to off. Now it will chime once and then shut up. The lights are still on, but at least it's not making the noise constantly.
Awesome how comfortable Justin got infront of the camera. Very good addition to the Donut team. Has good chemistry with the rest of the guys. Very delightful watching the energy and charisma everyone has
the seatbelt clips would actually be useful in some work scenarios. For instance if youre on a farm or worksite and only use your vehicle to move stuff from one end to the other and never go above 10 mph, they would be quite handy to shut up the alarm
Having crap in your passenger seat is an OSHA violation. Passengers go in the passenger seat. Cargo goes in the cab. In low speed accidents, the crap you keep in your seat is more likely to cause injury than anything.
There was a picture going around the internet some years ago of someone that glued chakra crystals and river rocks to her steering wheel to improve the energy of her car. I feel that those would do more damage than the colored plastic and would be about as bad as the spikes.
My uncle actually has one of the seatbelt clips. Broke his back when he was in his 30s and with the surgeries the doctor actually wrote an official note for not having to wear a seatbelt because the seatbelt positioning would absolutely kill him. Going through a windshield would kill him deader but he said he'd rather take the risk with the airbags than the almost certain death from seatbelt
i officially respect you. you know how to be cool with cars but you also know the safety risks of car and don't just wanna pose to be cool but you actually want to educate and tbh there is nothing that is cooler than this!
I actually want the Bluetooth seatbelt thing. There is a good use for it. I’m a surveyor that works in remote areas usually in the woods. We’re mostly on unused/lightly used two track dirt roads. It would be nice to be able to get in and out of the truck, move the truck up a quarter mile and do our thing without having to hear the incessant seatbelt warning. We get in and out of the work truck like a thousand times a day usually just to drive up a hundred yards at a time. It’s first world problems but it’s irritating to put the seatbelt all the way on every time.
yeah, it's not supposed to be used for getting around wearing a seatbelt lol...it's main purpose is for when you have packages & stuff in your front seat that would make the seatbelt bell go off (I personally also use it for whenever I have my dog in the car with me - since he likes to lie down kinda back into the seat, so he ends up getting his leg all caught in the seatbelts if I just clip them in, but w/ the "non seatbelt" it's perfect to use for bringing him along on rides) there's a good amount of uses, but it's not at all meant for people like that Mike B dude who's getting loaded & driving without a seatbelt like a total doucheclown
Click the seatbelt in behind you if you're constantly getting in and out. Or if you are alone in the truck, click the passenger seatbelt in the drivers side so it's not behind you. But on the road, obviously wear it properly
As soon as I saw it, I immediately thought "Darwin Award Delivery Device"! If you did it all in OD green, it could also be called the "Car Claymore" . It would be like a real world variant of the Fallout Series "Bottle Cap Mine".
The "Bluetooth" seatbelt would be nice for a car that has a malfunctioning passenger seat sensor. My car will randomly display the seatbelt light even when the front passenger seat is empty. Thankfully the car doesn't have an audible alarm when the belt is not connected.
Yeah I often have to throw some boxes of stuff in my front seat and it triggers the weight sensor so then you have to plug it in. I would actually use one of these legally
My old 2016 Malibu was that way. When I got the car the sensor was fine, but 3 years later the sensor started becoming WAY too sensitive. Even a single bag of groceries could set it off. The chime would go off once every 5 minutes or so. Enough to be sort of annoying. So I left it buckled all the time. I guess I could see how a product like that could be useful in this situation... kind of.
This is the intended use, especially in modern cars. If there's too much weight in the passenger seat, it'll think someone is there and needs a seatbelt buckled in.
I've had a couple fluffy wheel covers and they're pretty good. Visibility can be an issue depending on how short you are and how big your car is if you get the big ones. Besides that tho, they don't really slip, they're super comfortable, and are a lot of fun. Unfortunately, they do get very dirty overtime.
Most Dangerous Car "Accessoires" in my experience with other drivers from all over Europe here on the Autobahn: - Driving a White Van (not an Accessoire but the White Van is still the greatest Menace on European Streets & Autobahn) - A Cellphone (Most Dangerous Accessoire to be used in any Car) - A Touchscreen to control everything (especially dangerous on the Autobahn here where People driving their Tesla or other Touchscreen-only Car at 200km/h (120mph?) is almost average Speed for long Drives All of the Accessoires in the Video make me less nervous than the 3 mentioned above, let's be honest Love all your Videos so keep up the Content, it's great to watch after Work and the Autobahn Drive home. Prost & Cheers from Germany
Exactly right. The touch screens are the worst in my opinion because you can't FEEL if you're touching the correct area of the screen, forcing your eyes off the road. At least you can hold a cell phone in your field of vision and still observe the road, although most idiots still make it dangerous.
@@soconoha exactly, it's just as distracting as reading texts while driving. I'm glad that some Car Brands now started to at least have physical buttons to navigate through the menus and the option to have everything displayed right behind the steering wheel (like Audi does). BMW almost went full touch screen but they now decided to put both physical buttons and touchscreen in their newer cars, i hope the "Control everything with a huge Touchscreen only" Trend dies quickly.
The Bluetooth seatbelt thing is pretty handy honestly. I always drive with my backpack in the passenger seat and I might buy one just so I don't have to put the seatbelt on my bag.
Honestly, I would just try to remove the sensor instead of buying something to bypass a security feature. I always put my seatbelt on before I even start the engine so those things are completely useless for me anyway. But I never had a car with one of those, always buying cars with as little electronic BS as possible.
The seatbelt thing can be useful actually. Our new car keeps alarming when we put stuff on the passenger seat as if there was someone sitting there. I mean a bag is enough to trigger it. I get the reason for it but it becomes stupid and old since most of the time we’re driving alone. So we have to plug the seatbelt with noone there, which is just silly.
9:56 do also note that the driver will get flung front a bit during impace and the airbag fires milliseconds after the pre tensioners. so the real life gem airbag will do a lot more damage
I’m a locksmith. The one trend I see is the bling ring around the push to start button. A lot of times this interferes with the car seeing the remote. Car won’t start take that off and see if it does.
For the seatbelt latch, I have actually considered getting one for my passenger seat. I drive a 2015 mini and for whatever reason, anything metal/electronic in the passenger seat trips the weight sensor, even just my laptop sitting flat, so it would be nice to not have to drive with the belt fastened in an empty seat. As for the sun visor monitors, I could see myself using these to get work done in a parking lot. Lots of times I've needed to send an email really quick or get some writing done and there's no way for me to hold my laptop in a way that I can see the screen and use the keyboard without moving my seat and steering wheel a lot. Having a monitor there and a Bluetooth keyboard in my lap would probably be a lot more practical, but obviously never for use while driving.
I used the first product, seat belt buckle alarm silencer, when driving for Amazon. I went through 2 versions. I started with the exact same carbon fiber version y'all had, but upgraded within a week or so to a buckle extender. It was a roughly 1 foot long belt with male on one end and female on the other. One of our largest team members used it cause the belt didn't even fit her girth. I used it as an occasional silencer for when rolling a couple dozen feet from on house to another. Our vans wouldn't go into gear if the belt was unbuckled, but I would often drive less than 100 feet between deliveries. Buckling up for under 30 seconds of travelling under 15 mph (slower than seatbeltless electric scooters) simply didn't feel like it required a belt. That tool saved me tons of hassle and time.
Just a side note: A 9volt flashlight battery is more than enough to detonate an airbag. The inflator doesn’t need much voltage at all. Source: Kept a 9volt battery on my toolbox during the first wave of Takata airbag recalls when they were still having techs detonate the bags before shipping them back to Takata. That one battery did at least 30 airbags before they told us to stop detonating them and made us ship them in an armored cage instead.
The seatbelt thingy i think is mostly used if you have 4-5 point harnesses and bucket seats, so that you don't need to rewire and or take out the old seatbelt :)
I could see value in sunvisor monitors; hook them up to a rearview camera when backing up or hooked to turn signal activated cameras when passing, checking your blind spots.
Seatbelt clip is actually pretty useful for getting in and out of your car, for low speed/off the main road use (hunting, work truck, etc). Using this on the freeway might get you a Darwin award though.
@@usesnipe3609 why would you go off-road without a seat belt? I don't think it's a very good idea, when you're jumping on the bumps and stuff. It's very hard to control your car in such conditions I think. But what do I know, I never tried going off road without my seat belt
@@csngmusic if you're going off-road and bouncing around like that then you're going fast enough to warrant needing a seatbelt, more for low range crawling and whatnot where you gotta jump out and check clearances and whatnot
@@usesnipe3609 I have one for my passenger seat just because I toss my backpack on the seat and and I get the same annoying beep as if I wasnt wearing one
The rear view mirror is a harmless fun in my book, mine fell off and every time I glued it back the bass would knock it off, so I haven’t glued it back in months.
I actually have a sheepskin steering wheel cover though not nearly as fluffy as the one in the video. It actually is really helpful in keeping the wheel from burning hands in the summer, keeping fingers warmer in the winter, and for me specifically helps keep me from squeezing the wheel too hard and locking up my hands which is a problem I have especially if I am stressed. As long as you get a good one and not a cheap China knockoff they are very safe.
i worked at a dodge dealer as a service writer and the only thing i could see this useful for is farmers we had a lot of farmers coming in asking us to override the chime, which if you can prove the truck is for agriculture work, the dealer can override the chime sound and seatbelt alerts
Glad you guys tested the floofy floof steering wheel cover. I've seen a few ladies driving around with this in their car and felt it looked remarkably unsafe but now I see... maybe it's alright.
I was also surprised, but I still get the feeling that buying one should result in a visit from the police to check on your mental ability to savely drive a car
My 2019 Jetta has a passenger seat sensor sensitive to about 10 pounds. I put a backpack on that seat and I'll get the seat belt alarm. First product may actually have a use.
The bluetooth seatbelt is actually pretty useful in certain cases. I used to use one on the racetrack since I had a harness installed. That way the car wouldn't be dinging at me all the time during the race
"I don't understand people that don't wear seatbelts" - Such a relief to hear you say this. I've seen so many American youtubers not wear seatbelts, it boggles my mind. It's weaponized stupidity. I wonder if they disable the airbags too.
You could probably use the sun visor monitors for cameras, like if you were haulin' a trailer or somethin'. Also for offroading, it'd be useful to see shit all around you for terrain.
I started to think that could you connect that sunvisor-screen into a backup camera? If you don't have like huge infotament system and don't want obnoxious separate screen for your backup camera, would that do it's job and how well?
I was about to say there must be other uses to seat belt clips that I’m unaware of … cause why would they sell if they never intended for anyone to use it for their actual purpose
For the seatbelt latch, maybe it could be fine in a repair garage for some reason if you need to start the vehicle without and get in and out of it several times for testing.
I could actually use the anti ding ding ding seat belt thing. I carry some things in my passenger seats at times that are heavy enough to make my car bitch at me for not putting a seatbelt on them. Sometimes its pretty hard to get the seatbelt around the objects or behind them and I forget to do it and its just annoying once I'm driving and causes anger in me that will make me crash on purpose.
@@andycapo9you You're joking right? Or I could order that 2pc from amazon for $7 and save myself the $6.75 in that one gallon of gas plus total drive of 1hr there and back and entry fee to the yard of $5 plus what they'll charge me for the belts which is probably like $3-$10 plus save myself from uninstalling some belt buckles in the heat from some jank car and oil cover floor. And I'l have a nicer looking one that I don't have to remove the belt from either. Thats some backwards thinking though I love it LOL 0
There is an applicable use for the seat belt bypass, I used one for when I was driving all the time on the weekends and had luggage in the passenger seat. 🤷♂️
The Bluetooth seat belts are for farm use vehicles, or cases where you keep stuff in the front seat that would trigger the passenger sensor, but want to turn off the belt indicator.
I could genuinely see myself using that seat belt thing all the time, it is very annoying that the alarm goes of in my car when I put my backpack in the passenger seat.
The seatbelt clip is useful for people who don't drive on public roads, but venues or during events. Cars are used to drive 100 something meters, stop, do something, get back in, drive 200 meters etc. Usually at extremely low speeds due to the amount of people walking around. I use these clips all the time.
Alternatively, do the seatbelt up *then* get in over the top of it. Or just leave the vehicle running, the dinging stops after a little bit and doesn't start again til the vehicle has been shut off and restarted.
Yeah, I saw a picture of someone with a bunch of various quartz and amethyst crystals glued the the center of their steering wheel. That is definitely not going to deliver "good vibes" if you get in a wreck...
The pink fur accessories are really more of a 1- or maybe 3-time use things for a car that's absolutely set up to have them. Not bad if you want that type of thing and it matches and you don't really drive often.
I've seen so many superfluff almost a tu tu on your steering wheel, steering wheel covers handing out orders at the mcds I work at and wondered if it was even functional not to get one myself but just was curious also love how you guys read the whole description name on all these product videos so funny
As an owner of one, it is very safe, pretty much no different than any other cover. It's very comfortable too, which helps with my hand dryness/splinters or injuries. I do a lot of hand work and I really needed one of these.
I’ve been a donut fan for quite some time now, and watching them properly test the air bag made me realize this an education channel with a lot of entertainment, not the other way around
Seatbelt clip, when I was in college, I use to carry a heavy enough bag that when I put it on the passenger seat, it would often trigger the seatbelt alarm and I'd need to always have the seat belt engaged. Granted, I'd usually belt in my backpack so it wouldn't be loose, but I could see some niche situations where it'd be useful and not stupid deadly. As for the spikes and sequins, I think both could be awful in a car accident. Not only would you have the airbag exploding, but also the force of the car stopping adding momentum to the projectiles. All you need is one to hit you in the eye. Good video. I'd love to see more of these.
If you've ever ridden ranch roads and stop often to open gates or get out to work, the first product is great. Having to fasten the seatbelt behind your back is uncomfortable. If idiots want to use it on a public street, let them. Thin the herd.
ppl who don’t wear seatbelts are hazards to everyone’s safety, not just their own. my jaw was shattered when my phone hit me in the face when i crashed & i do not want to find out what would happen if a grown ass person was the projectile
I have "bluetooth" seatbelts. Use them when out driving slow speeds off road. It is also good when you want to put something on the passenger seat that has a bit of weight and don't want that damn chime going off.
just lock the seatbelt around said object or lock it and place object on top of your seatbelt. save yourself 7 bucks and paypal those to me. yours truly, lifehack nigerian prince.
Honestly I could use the seatbelt thing. I haul a lot of stuff around for work and sometimes my front seat gets enough weight that the seatbelt sensor goes off. I rarely have a person in that seat for my work car so it would make sense to lock out the beep like that.
@3:00 a legitimate purpose for the seat belt clip thing would be to put it in the passenger seat when you have stuff in the seat but don't want to have to leave the seat buckled all the time.
The “Bluetooth seatbelt” thing is harmless fun and is useful if you have a daily driver with a racing harness. Sometimes you don’t use the original seatbelt.
Most vehicles have a dance you can do to shut the belt minder off, and stay off unless the battery is disconnected. It's in your manual. The airbags deployment speed is determined by the computers in the vehicle based on the buckle too. It's a very dangerous product!
Eh, if they are in the car alone, honestly who cares if they are wearing their seat belt? I understand if others are I. The car because a human body flying around in a car could kill even if the impact of the wreck doesn't but I never understood why someone not wearing their seat belts when alone concerns people.
The Bluetooth seat belts are great for ice fishing. It is actually more dangerous to wear your seat belt while driving on the ice in case you need to get out fast
the fuzzy steering wheel i gotta say, any that came to my shop have some age on them and would always slip around some even blocked gauges and was just overall awkward for me. Maybe when they are brand new its different but id imagine after some age to it itll start slipping, could be wrong though for this particular one
Yeah, every one I have ever seen slides around. You do get some sheeps skin ones and after a while the top of the wheel goes bald. I'm wondering if it's a throwback to older cars with skinny steering wheels.
The seat belt doohickey is perfect for people who take their dog with them everywhere. The passenger seat in my Silverado has a sensor that activates when a certain amount of weight is in it and my dog is 80lbs. Needless to say she makes it ding constantly.
obviously the solution is to do what I've seen so many do. Just have the dog in your lap as your drive. Yes, I did read how much your dog weighs, and no it doesn't stop some people I've seen.
@@drunkenhobo8020 Not to mention a lot of locales actually have laws requiring animals to be strapped in as well. Dunno if it's a primary offense, but you can definitely get a ticket for it in some places.
The airbag tests left out the fact the face would be flying forward as well as the airbag explosion, might cause more damage
Yup, the airbag deployment is timed as a function of speed at impact and deceleration so it inflates at just the right time to stop your head from smashing into the steering wheel. At that point, your head will be ~18" away, give or take a few depending on sitting position.
Surprised the fact that not everyone wears shades, means your eyes could be at risk even if the skin wasn’t broken. But I suppose they’re in California, so everyone wars shades.
Either way it's a claymore
Dont forget that those pieces can also be shot inside your mouth, which can choke the person
I was thinking the same thing, also that test face was dramatically to resilient. the fact that spikes tore into the wood but bounced off the face makes me think it's not a good comparison.
I’ve always wanted to see what happens when people turn their airbags into claymores and I wasn’t disappointed.
instead of paying thousands for repairs take the quick way out
some people are so clueless its hilarious.
whiplash & loss of sight 😅
I was, wasn’t really close to an accurate recreation of a situation where the airbag would deploy. Not too many people are sitting still when those go off…
Its a pretty claymore.
I'd like to see a headlight eyelashes test and how it affects pedestrian safety. Emotional damage included.
Edit: typo
fayx
I concur, this would indeed be justified.....in the name of science of course.
they'd only do experiments if they were safe, this is far too dangerous
I need you to test this, you know where.
Next on your channel: lap around the Nurburgring in an NA miata with headlight eyelashes?
The seatbelt clip actually worked great. My passenger seat sensor in my BMW was messed up, and always thought someone was sitting in it, triggering the fasten seatbelt light and beep constantly. It was cheaper than replacing the sensor and just removed it when someone sat in that seat.
Possibly the only good reason to buy that product for its intended purpose.
I rented a new car and the back seats had sensors… it was very annoying that groceries had to be buckled in.
I need to get that for my stupid honda
I mean the upshot of that would be you know your groceries got home safe.@@carrie9716
@jommisalami why not just keep the seatbelt that came with the car buckled?
Even IF the airbag bedazzle JUST "scratched" you, imagine the many people who don't wear glasses when driving. That thing meeting your eye...DAMN!!
yup I saw a review under a bedazzled car logo thing warning people that her daughter got in a crash and when the airbags went off it went in her eye😟
Yeah, it doesn't look that bad as far as those things hitting you anywhere on your body or face. Maybe a scratch or bruise, but if one of those hit you in the eye, especially if it was open, you're vision won't ever be the same. The spikes must have been metal. That looked like it could kill you.
And if you wear glasses they will just turn in more shrapnel right in front of your eyes. Call me a coward, but two centimeters from my eye is not a place where I want shrapnel.
@@simonspacek3670 so i guess by that logic, driving with your eyes closed has the least problems overall if you like to bedazzle your wheel. XD
Glasses take more force to break than that bedazzle can do in majority of cases, the eyes are more vulnerable.
@@Django45 Closing eyes is about as fast as deploying airbag. And it would be interesting to test is airbag can send a stone through glasses. My guess is that it will depend on speed and glass thickness, so there will be no definitive answer, but who knows?
The last product reminds me of the largest recall in automotive industry, Takata airbag recall. The airbag will send shrapnel into your face instead of land into the airbag
Put them both together for certain death
Yeah, ammonium nitrate is vicious.
I have one of those cars. I'm told it's already been warrantied but also there was a recall for the replacement bags too so now I don't know what to think.
@nig a I've confirmed with the Honda dealership that the previous owner (my dad) went to. Still sketches me out though 😬
The sunvisor displays are only "Certain Death" if used improperly. I had similar (but much higher quality) sunvisors in my '06 Grand Caravan for like ten years. It was great for allowing the front seat passenger to watch a movie on long road trips, and a rather funny coincidence, but you actually named my primary use of the driver's sunvisor monitor. I am a Private Investigator and Security Guard and would often watch movies on it during long surveilance jobs, or low risk overnight watches. I'd also occasionally use it to review footage while still keeping my cameras available to record. It's far less distracting than using a laptop as I can keep my head up and still be watching outside the vehicle as opposed to looking down at my lap or the passenger seat.
I think it may be good place for navigation or something like that. Or infrared camera.
I did meet a security guard who had a little CRT TV mounted behind the front seats of his van. Made sense to me.
@@simonspacek3670 Had a friend who was big into car modification. He "deleted" his rearview mirror and used a custom sunvisor with a lower hight and screen with a camera to replace it. worked surprisingly well... the chats with the cops next to the road though...
The ballistic gel head looked like it didn't have a skull inside it, so it wobbled and dispersed the impact a little more than one with a rigid shape. Those things definitely would have done damage at the speed they flew at the head.
One flying into the mouth or eye, rip. Risk is unreasonably high.
Some momentum would also be pushing the head/face into the steering wheel too.
You can also consider with the "bedazzled" airbag, the drivers head is usually moving towards the steering wheel rapidly so I'd guess it would be even worse
The projectiled gems and stuff could also hit the driver's eyes which could cause more damage.
@@Kuma-ojisan I'd be less worried about eyes than I would about your airway. I imagine those gems aren't very healthy to have in your nose, throat, lungs, etc.
The seatbelt clip is useful in some cases. Back when I used to deliver pizza in my 86 the slightly heavier pizza orders would set off the passenger seat dinging.
I thought those pizza should be in the boot? 😏
@@jasonw98 naah, you want to be able to A: grab them if you have to brake hard or something, and B: just grab them and get out.
delivery 86 ftw
Wow, you monster. Fucking buckle the pizza. Do you want ANYTHING to happen to the pizzas in the event of some rude braking ? You're lucky I don't know where you live !
Don’t lie fam, that wasn’t pizza it was tofu
That bejewelled steering wheel should have "Front toward enemy" imprinted on it. Like every claymore mine has.
"Front toward enemy", sounds amazing to put that on custom bumpers
That seabelt thing is very useful when carrying items on the seat. When I drive to the fish and chip shop I put the bag on the seat and often get the annoying beeps until I safely strap the food in. They should have said "do not use when a person is sitting in the seat"
Omg 😂 I'm a college student and sometimes my backpack and purse will set off the airbag/seatbelt alarm and I have to strap them in like you lol
I have to imagine you could just take the seatbelt receptor apart and connect the wire.. but that itself would be a pain to do
It’s a wonder car manufacturers haven’t thought of that problem. A new issue is apparently back seatbelt alarm which go off when a child seat (secured with the isofix points) is in the back and it detects the weight of it
I always strap in my food. Gotta keep it safe so I can eat it lol
@@nthgth cant simply use the actual seatbelt... like clip the seat belt before putting whatever you want on the seat.
Basically, the airbag "wrapped" in spikes is what in the military we would call a hand grenade 😂
More of a directional mine.
😂😂😂😂
Claymore is more accurate
@@stormgaming572 A claymore is a directional mine.
@jic1 IF I remember correctly, a claymore is specifically designed as an anti-personnel weapon, so lots of small pieces of shrapnel flying at high speed. Either way, the only thing the typical airbag is missing to be an AP grenade is the shrapnel. Then again, I've got nothing against the human race being improved via Darwinism, especially by people who want to help the Dareinism remove them.
As a fluffy wheel owner, I gotta say they're actually very practical. I get calluses and splinters/minor infections from doing work or art a lot and it's 1000's of times less painful than a normal cover. Not to mention it's not hot in summer, yet good for winter. Shedding is definitely something you gotta manage though.
True
Just buy those very soft socks that feel like clouds and put them on your wheel, then (to avoid the shedding).
Dumbest reason to have one and I'm embarrassed to be in the same species as those that agreed with you.
@@Athena_T you liked your own comment, ratio
Thinking the dude would have felt bettyer about it if his comrade had ordered the red one. It was the manliness thing--or lack thereof.
Actually bought the first product a while ago. Newer car with 5 pt harness and 8.50 rollcage cage. Needed to stop the dinging lol
If you're not wearing a helmet and HANs, use the regular belt it's less likely to break your neck
I was actually surprised to see that as car guys, they had no idea why people would use these...
@@neoleo593 I can't find the study for that. do you still have access to it? I thought the increased effectiveness of the Hans was due to the helmet weight increasing the torque on the neck in a crash. I can't find a study that says the restraint system itself is more dangerous in an accident than the normal seat belt. if this study is well done, we could probably get Hans devices integrated in the military since most of the vehicles and aircraft use 5 or 6 point harnesses.
Good use 👍
@@cheddarsock it's more the lack of airbags and the sudden momentum you get when in an accident, your neck and head isn't restrained so you run the risk of snapping your neck and bludgeoning yourself on the roll cage
The first product- I’ve used something like it for when my dogs are in back. Keeps them from triggering the sensor and distracting my driving when I’m getting them to the vet (they have doggie seatbelts for longer trips)
As far as the first product goes; that can also be used when running a harness, while still keeping the original seat belt in the car.
I came here to say this
@@CyberChr1s i really wanted to buy one for my passager seat. when i come back from work my bag weights enough for the sensor to turn on
@@misterdeluxia5948 You probably should limit the size and weight of the things you steal from work!
@@OrionDakota shouldnt be walking outta there with the chefs secretary every day.
@@misterdeluxia5948 put your bag in the footwell, problem solved! 💁♂️
Also don't have to worry about your bag falling down in an emergency brake maneuver anymore
A "Front Towards Enemy" sticker usually is included with the steering wheel bedazzle nonsense, but nobody puts them on.
@Deto Qcney First off, my condolences. Second, and that's just the ones that actually buy those instead of just letting the speaker that plays the alarm burn itself out.
I was just thinking it looked similar to a Claymore, nice to see I'm not alone.
@Deto Qcney I don't think I've seen any of these whilst picking, so they might not be common around me
That make me actually want to do it now
"That means the front of my car"
I used the "bluetooth seatbelt" in the passenger seat of my Miata because I've often have groceries or such there.
Then I removed the passenger seat entirely, which solved that problem.
Removing a passenger seat sounds like something a Miata driver would do. I'm not saying that out of contempt - have you ever watched Miata drivers in a cone race? They're nuts compared to the BMW and Honda drivers. They go balls-out around those turns. I love it! 🙂
@@Dogvinity I mostly did it so my large dog could go for rides in the Miata without having her nose pressed against the windshield . . . but yeah, it's a very Miata thing to do.
I still have the passenger seat in case I ever want to put it back. It's in the spare bedroom.
if you can't fix a problem , delete the problem😂😂👌
This. I sometimes set my cell phone on the passenger seat and it's heavy enough to set off the sensor so I have to buckle AN EMPTY SEAT. Will order today.
@@ibdoomed That's nuts - I have a heavy cell phone as well, it almost makes me think yours may be calibrated wrong.
I actually use the "Bluetooth seatbelt" in my Impala although I just bought one from a junkyard instead of ordering something from Amazon. I use it as the detection sensor in the passenger seat is stupidly oversensitive to the point that the miniscule amount of power running through an Aux cable from my iPod will set it off. (Yes, I still use an iPod. I do a fair amount of travel in areas where cell reception is not a given so I like having backup music.)
I was thinking the same thing! My passenger seat warning goes off if anything is on the seat
Mine does that too
Yeah I kinda figured this was more meant for the passenger seat, not the driver's seat.
@@andream9470I would love to think that as well but have seen people that just buckle their seatbelt and sit on top of it so I know this would be used to achieve the same thing.
I was just thinking that. If you have a heavy dog or something that would set it off, I’d use it for that reason only.
I actually bought the seatbelt alarm thingies for my mom.
She puts her stuff on the passenger seat and her car thinks someone is sitting there and it triggers the chime. With this she doesnt have to reach for the seatbelt on the passengers side everytime she puts her bag on the seat. These just sit in her cupholder now :)
Seatbelt alarm thingies 😝
My car has the "Dingding" for the back seat. I have a seatbelt for my doggo, but it allows her to move around the back seat and laydown... Sometimes she lays down on the opposite seat... and then the "Dingding ding" starts. Only reason I have this.
@@JE-zl6uy hector salamanca
I just buckle the seatbelt before putting the stuff on my seat
@@nahcuh9140 yep. But no one ever uses my backseat and the normal seatbelt the pup gets tangled in
The seatbelt clip is actually very useful. If you work in trade and cant afford a van, you have to use a car. If you are transporting heavy items like bags of plaster or paint then you will at some point have to put it on the seat which sets off the alarm. Sometimes it can be difficult to plug the seatbelt so one of these would make the job faster and easier.
I deliver newspapers and that seatbelt clip would be perfect for the passenger seat as the weight of papers sets the sensor off. Did not know there was such a thing thanks Donut!
can't you just latch the seatbelt first before putting stuff on the seat?
@@Appletank8 They think the game doesn't allow it.
I figured that would be a good reason to have one of these.
@@Appletank8 that's what I do now but the chest strap can get in the way.
@Koi Zo A screwdriver has the potential to fall out of the buckle in a car wreck and then somehow get lodged in your leg, stomach, or neck if your car gets flipped over. I think the purchased buckle's better.

I actually have a friend who uses one of those seat belt clips, but not to avoid wearing a seat belt. She uses it because sometimes when she puts her bag on the passenger seat, it's heavy enough to trigger the beeping noise even though nobody is sitting there.
the Bluetooth seat belt is actually useful in some applications. working on a farm, certain jobs require you to be in and out of the truck repeatedly while not leaving the field. we used them for this purpose only though
I had them in our utility truck we drove 200 feet pole to pole so it helped a ton lol
We used to use them when I was an Amazon driver lol, all the Prime vans had one. I personally only used mine in neighborhoods when I'd be constantly jumping in and out of the van.
Farmers and ranchers where who they where originally designed for
@@Tyler_B. or other jobs like taxi drivers and car driving instructor. In Hungary those two jobs not required to use the seatbelt.
Always wear a seatbelt. My neighbor was killed earlier this summer, doing exactly this scenario.
The tv sun visor actually sounds like an interesting idea for me, but that's only because I prefer to sit in my car during my breaks at work.
What is this, the 2000s? tv,s everywhere era is dead 😄
Life hack, on my lunch breaks, I take my phone and mount it right in between my sunvisor and headliner to hold it into place.
Hands free
Use your Smartphones or tablet?
@@mangotail6808 hey man, i grew up with a car that had a mini tv screen for the back passengers. It was cool as hell watching wall-e on it, and probably kept me tame in the back seat.
I bought a boss audio radio and it has the ability for rca inputs, so after some adapters I can run whatever I want, currently there’s an Xbox hooked up and it’s all wired to play while the car is moving, I made a trip with some friends a while ago and they were playing Mario kart on the wii while we were moving
There is one legitimate use for the seatbelt clip that made me consider one before my situation changed making it less necessary.
I drive a coupe, sometimes (for my previous job, a lot of times) its more convenient to put stuff on the passenger seat. This clip could be handy instead of awkwardly leaning over to clip your seatbelt in even though the items will just slip under/over it anyway.
The bedazzled airbag was actually less injurious than I expected, but still a hard no. And I had assumed it was just one person doing it - I didn't realise it was a trend or anything. Guess we'll see it tested for real at some point.
It was a very flawed test tbh.
I think the big thing is that plenty of people have bedazzled their steering wheel with actual crystals, which have a lot more weight to them. The plastic ones probably are fairly harmless, assuming they don't directly hit you in the eye. But rocks? Not so much.
@@Msimo14 good point.
I actually love my infinity rear view mirror because it makes my mirror bigger to see more and it is a completely normal mirror when it’s turned off. So long as you don’t drive with it on, all it actually does is add to your visibility
The seatbelt simulator actually has a few legitimate uses:
-people with racing seats and harnesses that still retain the factory seatbelts for street use
-people that put heavy bags or other items on the passenger seat
-use cases where a truck is used to haul things short distances at low speeds where a seatbelt isn't really necessary and the driver is regularly in and out (think a truck that hauls things around a multi-building warehouse compound)
I came here to say this. I use a 4 point harness but, have kept the OEM belts for those who get in and don't want to use them. Well said!
well, you don't need to bought a seatbelt clip for those, just clip the seatbelt and sit, it does same thing. but still, seatbelt is important, I have an aunt and she got accident, break her skull and comma for 1 year before she finally give up and she died. at that time she sit as a back passenger, not waring seatbelt and as we commonly know back seater not always use seatbelt. so wear your seatbelt even you're a back passenger.
@@aristondarmayuda1451 You literally didn't read anything I posted. I never once said to go out on public roads, especially at speed, without a seatbelt. However, if you're driving around private property to haul heavy objects around at 10 mph, you really don't need a seatbelt.
@@aristondarmayuda1451 tell us you've never sat in a racing seat without telling us you've never been in a racing seat. The belt holes are in a different position because of the high bolstering and it would be uncomfortable af and you'd probably end up damaging your seatbelt from sitting on it like that because of the constant tension
I deliver groceries at the door in a mini truck. I mostly drive villages, outskirts, suburbs and city centre. This would be ideal, but not for me, I'd rather have the beeping noise that reminds me to put on the seatbelt, so when i have a 15 min or 40 min drive i dont forget to put on the seatbelt. Instead of not hearing the beeping noise any more and forgetting to put on seatbelt because i am used to hop in and out the van. Short slow distances i drive with out seatbelt. Unless i am in my personal car, i always wear a seatbelt
The sun visors actually may serve a very useful purpose if they’re good enough and can display multiple sources at the same time via split screen. You could hook them up to cameras and actually be able to see what’s behind you and beside you especially when trying to reverse.
My work truck uses a monitor (split screen) to see the hitch and what's behind me, I always leave it on and honestly if it was only on the visor and i had to fold it down constantly that would get super annoying and would sketch me out changing lanes
That's true! This would be perfect for an older model car that doesn't have any cameras. If I could use it like that, I would love to have one for my POS.
The seatbelt clip is often used for the passenger seat when your bags (School bag/Work bag, Groceries, Purse) weigh enough for them to register as a person causing the seatbelt Alarm to go off.

Donut is so good at hiring. First Zach and now Justin. Both are just awesome and fit in perfectly
I could see the seat belt thing if you put a lot of stuff in the car seats and don’t want the beeping or if ur car is messed up and will beep no matter if there’s weight on the seat or not, not sure how that would happen though.
I leave the passenger seat, seat belted for that reason.
I actually got a dog leash seat belt that I use so the passenger side stops dinging.
If that happens, you really should take it to a dealer and avoid having anyone on the passanger until you do. The car uses information about the weight of the passenger to know when to deploy the airbag, if its staying on when nobody is in it, it's not doing that correctly and could fire at the wrong time. A lot of issues with those systems have a transferable lifetime warranty, so there is a very good chance the dealer will get it fixed for free or relatively low cost.
@Flippy You can also just buckle the actual seatbelt on the empty seat, plus, now you have a cargo strap to keep things from shifting
That seat belt plug would be handy to have if you have something in your passenger seat that isn't another human and weighs like 3 pounds that your car decides is a worthy thing to activate the passenger air bags for.
It's also pretty amusing to see an air bag turned into a claymore for science.
you could still clip the seatbelt behind the object without the seatbelt interacting with the object. that way you dont need to spend however much that dumb clip is.
the seatbelt thing is actually something usefull. i have a car with a very anoying seatbelt alarm and when i am at a farm and have to constantly get out ou the car to open and close gates i really wish i had something like that. in this situation the car is moving at very low speed inside a private property, so no real danger.
Most modern cars have a way to turn off the chime. For subarus it's something like turn the key to on (not start), buckle and unbuckle 20 times in under 30 seconds, turn key to off. Now it will chime once and then shut up. The lights are still on, but at least it's not making the noise constantly.
I usually leave the belt plugged in and i just sit on the seatbelt lol

the seatbelt clips would actually be useful in some work scenarios. For instance if youre on a farm or worksite and only use your vehicle to move stuff from one end to the other and never go above 10 mph, they would be quite handy to shut up the alarm
Yep the Ford Pickups where I use to work all came with them from the factory.
Its pretty hard to put on a seatbelt I guess
when you get in and out of vehicles constantly, yes it gets annoying
@@Lawrencegratton it is hard to put a seatbelt on a toolbox
Having crap in your passenger seat is an OSHA violation. Passengers go in the passenger seat. Cargo goes in the cab.
In low speed accidents, the crap you keep in your seat is more likely to cause injury than anything.
There was a picture going around the internet some years ago of someone that glued chakra crystals and river rocks to her steering wheel to improve the energy of her car. I feel that those would do more damage than the colored plastic and would be about as bad as the spikes.
Thats a level of stupidity i never understood. "Rocks have energy. They make positivie energy

@@001sharpshot Well if the airbag goes off they will have Kinetic Energy.
My uncle actually has one of the seatbelt clips. Broke his back when he was in his 30s and with the surgeries the doctor actually wrote an official note for not having to wear a seatbelt because the seatbelt positioning would absolutely kill him. Going through a windshield would kill him deader but he said he'd rather take the risk with the airbags than the almost certain death from seatbelt
How about just a lap belt?? Unless his injury goes down that far?

the seat belt clip has a couple of uses for couriers and delivery drivers. especially with the weight sensor seats.
My car seats have a sensor so sensitive, a laptop bag could trigger it in some position, putting a few kg of force where the sensor is
I actually want the Bluetooth seatbelt thing. There is a good use for it. I’m a surveyor that works in remote areas usually in the woods. We’re mostly on unused/lightly used two track dirt roads. It would be nice to be able to get in and out of the truck, move the truck up a quarter mile and do our thing without having to hear the incessant seatbelt warning. We get in and out of the work truck like a thousand times a day usually just to drive up a hundred yards at a time. It’s first world problems but it’s irritating to put the seatbelt all the way on every time.
yeah, it's not supposed to be used for getting around wearing a seatbelt lol...it's main purpose is for when you have packages & stuff in your front seat that would make the seatbelt bell go off (I personally also use it for whenever I have my dog in the car with me - since he likes to lie down kinda back into the seat, so he ends up getting his leg all caught in the seatbelts if I just clip them in, but w/ the "non seatbelt" it's perfect to use for bringing him along on rides)
there's a good amount of uses, but it's not at all meant for people like that Mike B dude who's getting loaded & driving without a seatbelt like a total doucheclown
Click the seatbelt in behind you if you're constantly getting in and out. Or if you are alone in the truck, click the passenger seatbelt in the drivers side so it's not behind you.
But on the road, obviously wear it properly
Could be useful for ice fishing, since you are not legally allowed to have a seatbelt on while driving on frozen bodies of water
It's also good for driving schools. Driving instructors are exempt from wearing the seatbelt when teaching
I use one when offroading.. for the slower stuff only tho 😇😁
As soon as I saw it, I immediately thought "Darwin Award Delivery Device"! If you did it all in OD green, it could also be called the "Car Claymore" . It would be like a real world variant of the Fallout Series "Bottle Cap Mine".
The "Bluetooth" seatbelt would be nice for a car that has a malfunctioning passenger seat sensor. My car will randomly display the seatbelt light even when the front passenger seat is empty. Thankfully the car doesn't have an audible alarm when the belt is not connected.
Yeah I often have to throw some boxes of stuff in my front seat and it triggers the weight sensor so then you have to plug it in. I would actually use one of these legally
My old 2016 Malibu was that way. When I got the car the sensor was fine, but 3 years later the sensor started becoming WAY too sensitive. Even a single bag of groceries could set it off. The chime would go off once every 5 minutes or so. Enough to be sort of annoying. So I left it buckled all the time. I guess I could see how a product like that could be useful in this situation... kind of.
I use it to shut off the annoying beeps when I'm in and out with my tool bags
Also convenient if youre running harnesses for an autocross or track day
This is the intended use, especially in modern cars. If there's too much weight in the passenger seat, it'll think someone is there and needs a seatbelt buckled in.
I've had a couple fluffy wheel covers and they're pretty good. Visibility can be an issue depending on how short you are and how big your car is if you get the big ones. Besides that tho, they don't really slip, they're super comfortable, and are a lot of fun. Unfortunately, they do get very dirty overtime.
Most Dangerous Car "Accessoires" in my experience with other drivers from all over Europe here on the Autobahn:
- Driving a White Van (not an Accessoire but the White Van is still the greatest Menace on European Streets & Autobahn)
- A Cellphone (Most Dangerous Accessoire to be used in any Car)
- A Touchscreen to control everything (especially dangerous on the Autobahn here where People driving their Tesla or other Touchscreen-only Car at 200km/h (120mph?) is almost average Speed for long Drives
All of the Accessoires in the Video make me less nervous than the 3 mentioned above, let's be honest
Love all your Videos so keep up the Content, it's great to watch after Work and the Autobahn Drive home.
Prost & Cheers from Germany
Exactly right. The touch screens are the worst in my opinion because you can't FEEL if you're touching the correct area of the screen, forcing your eyes off the road. At least you can hold a cell phone in your field of vision and still observe the road, although most idiots still make it dangerous.
Stößchen..
@@soconoha
exactly, it's just as distracting as reading texts while driving.
I'm glad that some Car Brands now started to at least have physical buttons to navigate through the menus and the option to have everything displayed right behind the steering wheel (like Audi does). BMW almost went full touch screen but they now decided to put both physical buttons and touchscreen in their newer cars, i hope the "Control everything with a huge Touchscreen only" Trend dies quickly.
@e
My DHL Package isn't here yet, arrives tomorrow, i'll let you know when it's finally here
Whoever thought putting a touch screen in place of dials and buttons for climate control should be disgraced as an engineer.
The Bluetooth seatbelt thing is pretty handy honestly. I always drive with my backpack in the passenger seat and I might buy one just so I don't have to put the seatbelt on my bag.
I got one word “dog”
FYI, unsecured passengers are a danger to everyone in the car in case of a crash. Especially if it includes a roll.
Honestly, I would just try to remove the sensor instead of buying something to bypass a security feature.
I always put my seatbelt on before I even start the engine so those things are completely useless for me anyway.
But I never had a car with one of those, always buying cars with as little electronic BS as possible.
Isn't easier to jut clip your seatbelt on and them put stuff on your passenger seat?
@@dkrampage2933 i carry large tool boxes and other shit heavy shit this clip is just simple as hell since i could just leave it
The seatbelt thing can be useful actually. Our new car keeps alarming when we put stuff on the passenger seat as if there was someone sitting there. I mean a bag is enough to trigger it.
I get the reason for it but it becomes stupid and old since most of the time we’re driving alone. So we have to plug the seatbelt with noone there, which is just silly.
I saw driving instructors use these too, because they're not obliged to wear belts.
9:56 do also note that the driver will get flung front a bit during impace and the airbag fires milliseconds after the pre tensioners. so the real life gem airbag will do a lot more damage
I’m a locksmith. The one trend I see is the bling ring around the push to start button. A lot of times this interferes with the car seeing the remote. Car won’t start take that off and see if it does.
good tip.
...i mean, not that _I_ would ever bedazzle my car like that, but maybe I'll come across it somewhere. lmao
GM has a bulletin saying this exact thing
Hi-larious !
There is a couple videos here on "Customer states..." that even the newer Key ignition start cars flatly refuse to start with them on.
@@harrimat100 "flatly refuse to start" that's the bad taste detector kicking in
I used to valet and those steering wheel covers can be dangerous. You'll go to turn sometimes and only the cover will turn, not the wheel.
This one was freshly glued on so probably OK for now
For the seatbelt latch, I have actually considered getting one for my passenger seat. I drive a 2015 mini and for whatever reason, anything metal/electronic in the passenger seat trips the weight sensor, even just my laptop sitting flat, so it would be nice to not have to drive with the belt fastened in an empty seat. As for the sun visor monitors, I could see myself using these to get work done in a parking lot. Lots of times I've needed to send an email really quick or get some writing done and there's no way for me to hold my laptop in a way that I can see the screen and use the keyboard without moving my seat and steering wheel a lot. Having a monitor there and a Bluetooth keyboard in my lap would probably be a lot more practical, but obviously never for use while driving.
Aftermarket seats with passenger occupancy sensors also need the seatbelt clip since the car always thinks someone is in the passenger seat.
If you'd have a motorcycle you wouldn't have to worry about that scared cager
Or how about just sitting in the passenger seat if you have to send a work email, dummy.
exact same reason, for some reason the weight of my school backpack it is enought to turn on the sound of the seatbelt so I got one of that thing
@@dalaanibombina8822 what? he is not using the laptop, he just put it on the seat...
I used the first product, seat belt buckle alarm silencer, when driving for Amazon. I went through 2 versions. I started with the exact same carbon fiber version y'all had, but upgraded within a week or so to a buckle extender. It was a roughly 1 foot long belt with male on one end and female on the other. One of our largest team members used it cause the belt didn't even fit her girth. I used it as an occasional silencer for when rolling a couple dozen feet from on house to another. Our vans wouldn't go into gear if the belt was unbuckled, but I would often drive less than 100 feet between deliveries. Buckling up for under 30 seconds of travelling under 15 mph (slower than seatbeltless electric scooters) simply didn't feel like it required a belt. That tool saved me tons of hassle and time.
Just a side note: A 9volt flashlight battery is more than enough to detonate an airbag. The inflator doesn’t need much voltage at all.
Source: Kept a 9volt battery on my toolbox during the first wave of Takata airbag recalls when they were still having techs detonate the bags before shipping them back to Takata. That one battery did at least 30 airbags before they told us to stop detonating them and made us ship them in an armored cage instead.
on chrisfix's video though about launching footballs, he tried to use a 9v on a mercury airbag and it didnt go off correctly
@@the2323guy Weird. I’ve never had a problem.
@@derbydriver maybe it was just a fluke
The seatbelt thingy i think is mostly used if you have 4-5 point harnesses and bucket seats, so that you don't need to rewire and or take out the old seatbelt :)
I could see value in sunvisor monitors; hook them up to a rearview camera when backing up or hooked to turn signal activated cameras when passing, checking your blind spots.
That's basically just turning your car into the killdozer
@@MrIansmitchell apparently all new cars are killdozers then by that logic considering nearly all of them have rear and many have front cameras
I glued live .22 lr rounds onto my steering wheel, thanks for the inspiration fellas.
Seatbelt clip is actually pretty useful for getting in and out of your car, for low speed/off the main road use (hunting, work truck, etc). Using this on the freeway might get you a Darwin award though.
off road is surly the only valid reason why you should use that
@@usesnipe3609 why would you go off-road without a seat belt? I don't think it's a very good idea, when you're jumping on the bumps and stuff. It's very hard to control your car in such conditions I think. But what do I know, I never tried going off road without my seat belt
@@csngmusic if you're going off-road and bouncing around like that then you're going fast enough to warrant needing a seatbelt, more for low range crawling and whatnot where you gotta jump out and check clearances and whatnot
@@usesnipe3609 I have one for my passenger seat just because I toss my backpack on the seat and and I get the same annoying beep as if I wasnt wearing one
@@collinweinheimer1056 and and?
The rear view mirror is a harmless fun in my book, mine fell off and every time I glued it back the bass would knock it off, so I haven’t glued it back in months.
i’ve got a clip on infinity mirror and it falls off every single time I put down my visors lmao. but it does increase my visibility
I never har that mirror I only use the side mirrors. I'm used to use only the side mirrors because I drive a truck.
I actually have a sheepskin steering wheel cover though not nearly as fluffy as the one in the video. It actually is really helpful in keeping the wheel from burning hands in the summer, keeping fingers warmer in the winter, and for me specifically helps keep me from squeezing the wheel too hard and locking up my hands which is a problem I have especially if I am stressed. As long as you get a good one and not a cheap China knockoff they are very safe.
i worked at a dodge dealer as a service writer and the only thing i could see this useful for is farmers we had a lot of farmers coming in asking us to override the chime, which if you can prove the truck is for agriculture work, the dealer can override the chime sound and seatbelt alerts
Glad you guys tested the floofy floof steering wheel cover. I've seen a few ladies driving around with this in their car and felt it looked remarkably unsafe but now I see... maybe it's alright.
Nah, it's not. An emergency situation might require real driving.
I was also surprised, but I still get the feeling that buying one should result in a visit from the police to check on your mental ability to savely drive a car
Can confirm, a friend of mine had it on her car, it's just plain ugly but not unsafe
@@straxwb 😆
As a fluffy wheel owner, it's honestly just normal steering but comfortable
My 2019 Jetta has a passenger seat sensor sensitive to about 10 pounds. I put a backpack on that seat and I'll get the seat belt alarm. First product may actually have a use.
My 13 Jetta is sensitive down to a pound I swear. I set my vape in the seat and that plus my sweatshirt was too much for it it's annoying as hell
The bluetooth seatbelt is actually pretty useful in certain cases. I used to use one on the racetrack since I had a harness installed. That way the car wouldn't be dinging at me all the time during the race
"I don't understand people that don't wear seatbelts" - Such a relief to hear you say this. I've seen so many American youtubers not wear seatbelts, it boggles my mind. It's weaponized stupidity. I wonder if they disable the airbags too.
You could probably use the sun visor monitors for cameras, like if you were haulin' a trailer or somethin'. Also for offroading, it'd be useful to see shit all around you for terrain.
I started to think that could you connect that sunvisor-screen into a backup camera? If you don't have like huge infotament system and don't want obnoxious separate screen for your backup camera, would that do it's job and how well?
Lol! Nolan disappearing at 10:45 😂😂😂
The seat belt clip thing is very useful if you work on a ranch. When I go hunting, everyone uses these things. They definitely have valid uses.
i thought its a beer bottle opener "car themed"
@@random_cocaine4667 I'm sure you can use it for that!
I was about to say there must be other uses to seat belt clips that I’m unaware of … cause why would they sell if they never intended for anyone to use it for their actual purpose
A heavy package or a dog in the seat can set off the ding ding seatbelt alarm so there’s a use for it there
@@aircraftnut15 true, a dog for me :) but still i would not gonna buy it intentionally. . . .
For the seatbelt latch, maybe it could be fine in a repair garage for some reason if you need to start the vehicle without and get in and out of it several times for testing.
I could actually use the anti ding ding ding seat belt thing. I carry some things in my passenger seats at times that are heavy enough to make my car bitch at me for not putting a seatbelt on them. Sometimes its pretty hard to get the seatbelt around the objects or behind them and I forget to do it and its just annoying once I'm driving and causes anger in me that will make me crash on purpose.
Just go to a scrap yard and get yourself one from a crashed car
@@andycapo9you You're joking right? Or I could order that 2pc from amazon for $7 and save myself the $6.75 in that one gallon of gas plus total drive of 1hr there and back and entry fee to the yard of $5 plus what they'll charge me for the belts which is probably like $3-$10 plus save myself from uninstalling some belt buckles in the heat from some jank car and oil cover floor. And I'l have a nicer looking one that I don't have to remove the belt from either. Thats some backwards thinking though I love it LOL

There is an applicable use for the seat belt bypass, I used one for when I was driving all the time on the weekends and had luggage in the passenger seat. 🤷♂️
The Bluetooth seat belts are for farm use vehicles, or cases where you keep stuff in the front seat that would trigger the passenger sensor, but want to turn off the belt indicator.
I could genuinely see myself using that seat belt thing all the time, it is very annoying that the alarm goes of in my car when I put my backpack in the passenger seat.
but like, the car comes with seatbelts, just put the seat belt where it goes
The seatbelt clip is useful for people who don't drive on public roads, but venues or during events. Cars are used to drive 100 something meters, stop, do something, get back in, drive 200 meters etc. Usually at extremely low speeds due to the amount of people walking around. I use these clips all the time.
Just use the seatbelt, it takes like 3 seconds
@@GNF54 it’s a time waster when you getting in and out of the car a hundred times an hour. Many events vehicles don’t even have doors for this reason.
Alternatively, do the seatbelt up *then* get in over the top of it. Or just leave the vehicle running, the dinging stops after a little bit and doesn't start again til the vehicle has been shut off and restarted.
Just remove the fuse for the chime .
Always wear a seatbelt. My neighbor was killed earlier this summer, doing exactly this scenario.
The airbag that seemed the most dangerous was the one who glued a bunch of 'healing rocks' to the front. I'd imagine those would do a bit more damage.
Yeah, I saw a picture of someone with a bunch of various quartz and amethyst crystals glued the the center of their steering wheel. That is definitely not going to deliver "good vibes" if you get in a wreck...
The pink fur accessories are really more of a 1- or maybe 3-time use things for a car that's absolutely set up to have them. Not bad if you want that type of thing and it matches and you don't really drive often.
I've seen so many superfluff almost a tu tu on your steering wheel, steering wheel covers handing out orders at the mcds I work at and wondered if it was even functional not to get one myself but just was curious also love how you guys read the whole description name on all these product videos so funny
As an owner of one, it is very safe, pretty much no different than any other cover. It's very comfortable too, which helps with my hand dryness/splinters or injuries. I do a lot of hand work and I really needed one of these.
I’ve been a donut fan for quite some time now, and watching them properly test the air bag made me realize this an education channel with a lot of entertainment, not the other way around
That wasn't even remotely well tested. Your first assumption was right.
The pink covers might be useful when your cars been in the sun all day and that shift knob gets hot
The pink covers make it even hotter 🥵
Sun deflector for the windshield?
If your hands get greasy when driving with that thing, your fucked lol.
More useful: Delrin shift knob. Doesn't get hot or cold. Worked great in my 124 Spider in the Texas summer heat.
no.
Seatbelt clip, when I was in college, I use to carry a heavy enough bag that when I put it on the passenger seat, it would often trigger the seatbelt alarm and I'd need to always have the seat belt engaged. Granted, I'd usually belt in my backpack so it wouldn't be loose, but I could see some niche situations where it'd be useful and not stupid deadly.
As for the spikes and sequins, I think both could be awful in a car accident. Not only would you have the airbag exploding, but also the force of the car stopping adding momentum to the projectiles. All you need is one to hit you in the eye.
Good video. I'd love to see more of these.
If you've ever ridden ranch roads and stop often to open gates or get out to work, the first product is great. Having to fasten the seatbelt behind your back is uncomfortable. If idiots want to use it on a public street, let them. Thin the herd.
This! Clearly city boys

I have "bluetooth" seatbelts. Use them when out driving slow speeds off road. It is also good when you want to put something on the passenger seat that has a bit of weight and don't want that damn chime going off.

Honestly I could use the seatbelt thing. I haul a lot of stuff around for work and sometimes my front seat gets enough weight that the seatbelt sensor goes off. I rarely have a person in that seat for my work car so it would make sense to lock out the beep like that.
Get a Peugeot Partner they dont have a sensor on the passenger side for the seatbelt. Only driver side have that function
@3:00 a legitimate purpose for the seat belt clip thing would be to put it in the passenger seat when you have stuff in the seat but don't want to have to leave the seat buckled all the time.
Example:dogs
The “Bluetooth seatbelt” thing is harmless fun and is useful if you have a daily driver with a racing harness. Sometimes you don’t use the original seatbelt.
Most vehicles have a dance you can do to shut the belt minder off, and stay off unless the battery is disconnected. It's in your manual. The airbags deployment speed is determined by the computers in the vehicle based on the buckle too. It's a very dangerous product!
Most manual don’t mention it
I work at Amazon and I actually pick a lot of these. Scary to think that many people aren’t wearing there seatbelt

The Bluetooth seat belts are great for ice fishing. It is actually more dangerous to wear your seat belt while driving on the ice in case you need to get out fast
Or if you slide into a lake…Good luck getting that seatbelt off.
the fuzzy steering wheel i gotta say, any that came to my shop have some age on them and would always slip around some even blocked gauges and was just overall awkward for me. Maybe when they are brand new its different but id imagine after some age to it itll start slipping, could be wrong though for this particular one
Yeah, every one I have ever seen slides around. You do get some sheeps skin ones and after a while the top of the wheel goes bald.
I'm wondering if it's a throwback to older cars with skinny steering wheels.
The seat belt doohickey is perfect for people who take their dog with them everywhere. The passenger seat in my Silverado has a sensor that activates when a certain amount of weight is in it and my dog is 80lbs. Needless to say she makes it ding constantly.
obviously the solution is to do what I've seen so many do.
Just have the dog in your lap as your drive. Yes, I did read how much your dog weighs, and no it doesn't stop some people I've seen.
