Thank you for explaining that it will not work if you go too fast.. I had done it before but it came back on after the car sat for a couple days in colder weather. Might be time for a new battery. I watched several videos and was getting very frustrated. You're a life saver!
Thanks for the sub! There may come a time in your life when you'd like to disable it. Hopefully my video is helpful in that situation. Congrats the Outback!
Outstanding Tyson! Thank you, now if you can show me how to “DISABLE DRIVER MONITORING” permanently as I have to do this every time I start my 2023 Outback XT - that would be absolutely awesome!💯🤩👍🏽👍🏽
If I figure out a way to do that, I'll do a short video on it! It currently stays off in the other vehicles that I've tested it in, but I don't have a 2023 Outback available to test on.
@tyson Is there any way to make the Subaru (forester 25) make a SOUND when I'm signaling, shifting lanes and there is a vehicle in my blind spot? I am much more auditory and during the day often miss the visual flashing blind spot thing on the side mirrors - really need a sound - reaching out to you as an expert to see if there are any settings I can turn on so the car will beep if im changing lanes when there is a car in the blind spot. (Right now it's been the car behind me honking and slamming on their brakes - no Bueno!!!!)
Unfortunately, there is no way to turn on an audible chime for BSD, you have to keep an eye on the side of the mirror for the orange indicator, in addition to shoulder checking. The visibility in the new Forester makes it to that there are very minimal blind spots when checking over your shoulder, and the BSD indicator is great "extra insurance" to confirm that no one is there.
Thank you for watching! Unfortunately, I do not know of a way to disable or reduce the sensitivity. Your local dealership may be able to change it in the background settings that technicians have access to.
@@TysonTheSubaruSpecialist I have a 1000 foot long driveway at my farm. And paths to the barn and tractor shed. I’ve had my Crosstrek since July and that damn buzzer and on and off with the seatbelt was driving me insane. Before finding your video I was going to look on eBay for a Subaru seat belt buckle end, without the belt, so I could plug it into the receptacle and drive around my property in peace! SERENITY NOW!!!
Not bothered by the noise for the driver, it's when I have to buckle my groceries, my pizza box or my pocketbook registering as a person, which destroys my desire to ever own a subaru again
On my 2024 Impreza, the initial lower volume seat belt chime is okay, however the second round is much louder. What is even more interesting, is that I set the car to P and set parking brake, the chime is still going, but why?!
@@TysonTheSubaruSpecialist I usually open mailbox in my apartment and just drive 150 feet to the destination. I don't know at what speed it starts to chime louder, but I don't seem to drive fast at all, maybe 7 mph.
I'm sorry to hear that you're struggling with it this time. I've never tried to do it more than 20 times, so I can't confirm. You are pressing the start button x2 when you first start the process, right?
@synchro33 I have yet to find a way to disable the second row chime, other than buckling the belts up. I'd love to find a way to do it, but have been unsuccessful thus far.
I have a question. My whole system went wonky in my ‘24 Crosstrek. Turns out it might have been downloading an update. When I got the notification to install the update, I pressed it and the install failed. Will it try to update again?
@@TysonTheSubaruSpecialist ok thanks. My 2021 forester when you turn on the engine the seatbelt warning light driver side comes on for a few mins but when I drive and remove seatbelt no chime.
@@TysonTheSubaruSpecialistnot owning a Subaru or driving the thing into a bridge embankment seems to be the only method for rear seats. You could technically cut a couple wires but wouldn't advise it.
Is this a permanent thing? Or does it have to be done after each time starting out on a drive. When my wife and I are driving, she (in the passenger seat), sometimes unclicks her seat belt to reach for something in the back of the car. She then quickly puts the seat belt back on. The chiming is very annoying. If I use this method, will I hear any chiming when she does this?
I've had my 2015 for eleven years and the seat belt alarm was tolerable, but I'll be doing this trick to my brand new 2024 now that some idiot engineer decided to also put this alarm through the amplified entertainment speakers. That's almost cruel
Spoken as someone that clearly doesn't have a gate to access/exit their own property or has a post box just down the street from them. Subaru installed the option to turn it off, they clearly see a reason to be able to disable it.
Ever hauled something? Groceries, etc.? This is the dumbest feature imaginable. If you aren't wearing your seat belt after the 4858th beep, you don't care.
Thanks worked on my 23 crosstrek sport after trying three times.
Excellent! I'm glad to hear that it worked!

Good video. Any chance you know of a way to reduce the sensitivity of the car alarm (or temporarily disable it) for riding BC Ferries? 2024 crosstrek.
Thank you for watching!

This is the real deal. I did this to my 2024 outback and it worked. You will need to do this again if you remove the battery.
Of course it's the real deal!
I'm not going to add something not true to my Subaru School series!
So it remembers the setting?
@@michaelking42 it remembers until the battery is depleted/other memory functions are forgotten.
@@TysonTheSubaruSpecialist Thanks mate!
@@michaelking42 anytime!

@@CH67guy1 that sort of situation is EXACTLY why I made this video! I grew up rural, and it would have driven me nuts!
What about the backseat belts on 2024 Crosstrek? Will it turn those off, now those are really annoying.
@@RoseAlvarez-z5n you gotta buckle up the back seats to stop the chime. There isn't a way to turn them off, that I've found yet.
Awesome I found this on my 06 outback and instantly did my 2014 Forester ! Best thing ever 😎🙉
Glad my video could help!
I have 2024 outback touring XT. Chime was super annoying. I succeeded first attempt ! Passenger side is off, too. 😊
Glad to hear that you got it on the first attempt!
by deactivating this.. does it just deactivate the chime or does it also deactivate the safety functions from turning off as well?
The chime stops, but I've never had any other safety related features turn off with the chime.

It's really driving home the point that you need to buckle up. That's why I make these videos - the second, more intense chime, drives me nuts.
@@TysonTheSubaruSpecialist I usually open mailbox in my apartment and just drive 150 feet to the destination. I don't know at what speed it starts to chime louder, but I don't seem to drive fast at all, maybe 7 mph.
@Charkatak 10km/hr +. Disable the chime and you'll be golden. It's a time vs speed thing.
I've done this on my 2012 Forester but now I have a 2019 Outback and I'm struggling with the push start if I go over 20 is that still going to work
I'm sorry to hear that you're struggling with it this time. I've never tried to do it more than 20 times, so I can't confirm.

It should try to update again at some point.
@@TysonTheSubaruSpecialist thank you. Hopefully not while I’m driving this time.
Does it work with key models?
@@timrose131 it does!
THANK YOU!!
Welcome!
What about the 2025 Forester back seat chime?
As far as I've found, there isn't a way to shut off the rear chimes, other than buckling the seat belts up.
@@TysonTheSubaruSpecialist thank you but so annoying. Going on eBay or Amazon to order the fake clip ins rear.
@@AmyReightler Yeah, it is annoying, but I understand why they did it. It's a shame you cannot turn it off, though.
If you disabled it, how could you reverse it like engage the chime again?
Unhook the battery negative terminal for 20 minutes, and it will reset everything back to factory standards.
@@TysonTheSubaruSpecialist ok thanks. My 2021 forester when you turn on the engine the seatbelt warning light driver side comes on for a few mins but when I drive and remove seatbelt no chime.
Wish you could turn off the chime for rear seats as the two 55 lbs poodles even though they are buckled sometimes set it off. It is annoying.
I agree! I wish that there was a way to stop the rears from chiming. I haven't found a way to stop it, yet.
THIS! Rear is super annoying.
@@TysonTheSubaruSpecialistnot owning a Subaru or driving the thing into a bridge embankment seems to be the only method for rear seats. You could technically cut a couple wires but wouldn't advise it.

4x… not yet working. Is this legit for a 2024 Outback?
Yes, it's legit. I just went and confirmed in a 2024 Outback that it works.

Nope, it's a permanent thing. You'd have to do it on her seat and see if it stops the chime the same way that it does for the drivers side.
It works!!! 2nd try 😎🥳🥳🥳
Awesome! Glad that it worked for you!
I've had my 2015 for eleven years and the seat belt alarm was tolerable, but I'll be doing this trick to my brand new 2024 now that some idiot engineer decided to also put this alarm through the amplified entertainment speakers. That's almost cruel
@@kippywylie I know! It's excessively loud!
Didnt work on my 2006 subaru sti
It's worked in every Subaru I've tested it in, even a 2000 Forester the other week. Never tried it in a JDM one, though.
If I can do it 30 times in 30 seconds, will it give me 10 extra horsepower. 😊
Shhhhh! 🤫
how do you turn it back on?
Unhook your battery for 15-20 minutes.
Thanks,@@TysonTheSubaruSpecialist.
@@vypir313 welcome!
How long will it stay off?
Until you reverse the process and re-enable the chime, or you change the battery/the battery is depleted and systems go back to default.
I wish there was way to turn off the auto start/stop permanently.
@@FordEnthusiast413 at least it's on the main screen and not hidden in 3 different menus
You can buy devices that allow you to do that.
@@michaelking42 pretty sure he ment as an option from factory.
Hold the red button in while you click and unclick it shuts passenger seat too but not rear seats.
subaru seat belt disable does not work on 2025 model
@@colinwhewell7049 it most definitely does work. I just went and confirmed on a brand new 2025 Forester
This video was probably meant for April Fool's Day :)
Why's that?
@@TysonTheSubaruSpecialist wait... you mean this is a real thing????
@DIYManiacJohnP I wouldn't include a joke video in my "Subaru School" series. It does indeed work.
Or you could wear your seatbelt ?

Oh really? It does not do that in any of the other Subarus that I've tested it in.
