It's awfully sad that the whole basis for the idea of public forums was infringed upon. The whole reasong behind this being illegal and a "liability" is BS. If they're gonna say that then they need to draw a line in the sand and not let any threads concerning illegal activity be created. i.e. race headers, street racing, speeding, window tint, bumper height, etc. Where is it going to end? I was lucky enough to get the info before it was deleted and I will use the mod and ill be happy with it. I think if Honda wouldve thought about this a little more and made a way to disable it from the factory they wouldnt have people tryin to hack up their seatbelt harness and mess with the airbag sensors and fuses in an attempt to get rid of this nuisance. If you ask me, in a way Honda made this feature less safe because people who dont know what theyre doing are gonna end up disabling their airbags completely and that defeats the whole purpose of Honda's safety. I mean the thread and subsequent posts from members were deleted over a DIY to remove the seatbelt chime??? Give me a freakin' break.

OK let's blame Honda for making the seatbelt thingy make noise when it senses someone/something on the seat...
that thread was not deleted b/c it was illegal... but b/c it was directly messing with safety features on the car...
relating this to someone changing their steering wheel with a non-SRS steering wheel, considering that's safety as well, doesn't even compare... only b/c your not affecting other operations of the car just the steering wheel... disabling something like this, especially the way he did it by cutting wires affects future passengers and future owners of the car....
something this small
CAN get passed inspection from a dealer... and they end up selling the the car and God forbid something happens to the new owner, then Honda is not liable for any problems they have....
you can kinda see how this is not only getting rid of that stupid little chime noise, right??....
and if you read the original thread then you would see as to how this might affect some of the safety features of the car.... b/c of the wires that were cut to bypass the seat sensor....
