As for the passenger side air bag, there's a weight sensor. Try adding something heavy to the seat, then starting the truck up. NOTE: If you fool the Tundra's safety system into thinking your seat belt is buckled, it may deploy the airbag at full speed (as opposed to medium full speed). That could mean injury...so wear your safety belts people! :-) Shawn – Great tip – THANK YOU. As for the passenger side air bag, there’s a weight sensor.

Some magnets don't work as well as others but I have had no problems with the drivers side since i taped the magnet on. The passenger side is another story. I can't figure out how to get the air bag to turn on when the magnet is taped on. If anyone can solve this let me know. Shawn I have a 2008 Tundra double cab.

That sounds like the easiest and best way to defeat the sensor. Shawn – What year is your Tundra? That sounds like the easiest and best way to defeat the sensor.

I just taped on a fridge magnet and the buzzer stops. I just did however put the one back on the passenger seat because i couldn't figure out how to get the passenger airbag to stay activated. I always wear my seat belt but for short runs where your in and out its very annoying. I took the little black clip off that connects to the seat belt and found that it is magnetic.

I think they are made from a plastic cd case. By doing it this way you're not fooling with the safety system at all so the insurance company can't state you voided your policy or the manufacturer's warranty.

This is a lot of in and out of the truck travelling at low speeds checking for tracks, etc. This is when the seatbelt chime is very annoying. I would like to shut it off for that week. Also, I have gotten a few groceries and placed them on the passenger seat and set off the chime, as little as two 2 liter pop bottles, no where near the 40lbs that is required.

I usually put my stuff on the rear floor so I don't have the chime in my Crewmax. Okay we hear that. I usually put my stuff on the rear floor so I don’t have the chime in my Crewmax.

Why is it such an issue? #1 You should always wear your seatbelt, its the smartest choice. #2 If the chime does sound wait about 30sec and it will stop. Quit acting like a little ding noise is killing you or something. Grow up its meant to be there as a reminder to do the right thing. As far as the passenger side if you don't want to hear it and no one is in the seat fasten the stupid buckle when you get in and shut up about it already. People worry about some of the dumbest things now a days. If the shoe fits.... :) Wow I hear alot of complaints about this chime issue.

It starts chiming while I am driving down the road even though my seat belt is buckled. It does this about every 1500 miles. I have to stop the truck and turn the key off to let it reset itself. Toyota has tried correcting this problem several times and looks like I am going to get a new truck if the next attempt doesn't fix the problem. Thanks for the info, since I like my truck and now I at least have a choice if they can't fix it (after the 6 attempt). I have different issue with my seatbelt chime.

The issue is that it does not weigh 40 lbs as referenced. Even with the laptop in it, it does not weigh more than 20 lbs. After learning of the chime, I immediately went back to Toyota and threatened to let them have the truck back (you can do that in Texas within first few days of purchase). They finally relented and re-programmed the passenger side so that it would not chime and then tried to CHARGE me. Of course I did not pay, but they said that when the battery gets disconnected, it will default back to original settings and I will have to pay. That does not make me happy, but it is a small problem. The truck truly is wonderful in all other areas. The one other thing I wish was offered is steering wheel audio controls that don't cost $1800 (only upgrade option) My 2007 Crewmax passenger seat belt chime goes off when I simply put my briefcase in the passenger seat – which I do often.
