Is there a Carista alternative that is cheaper?

I did the buckle/unbuckle seatbelt 20x tip. Kind of a pain, but it only takes a minute, and it's free.

Haven't seen this before on the 6th gen, how do you do it on our 4Runners?

The "buckle/unbuckle 20x tip" is a popular workaround used to disable the seatbelt reminder chime. It is commonly used by owners of Subaru and some other vehicles to prevent annoying beeping while driving off-road, moving a vehicle slowly around a private property, or when a heavy object is placed on the passenger seat. [1, 2, 3]


Follow this exact sequence to use the 20-click trick:

1. Turn on Accessories: Turn your car's ignition to the "ON" or accessory mode, but do not start the engine. For push-button start vehicles, press the ignition button twice without your foot on the brake pedal.
2. The 20-Click Cycle: Within 30 seconds of turning the accessories on, fully insert and release the seatbelt buckle 20 times rapidly. You must fully insert the metal tongue into the receptacle and press the red release button each time.
3. Turn Off the Car: Leave the seatbelt unbuckled on your 20th and final release, and turn the ignition completely off.
4. Test: Start the vehicle normally. The seatbelt reminder chime for that specific seat should now be disabled. [9]

Note: Disabling the chime does not actually disengage the airbag system or prevent you from wearing your seatbelt; it just stops the audio warning. However, disconnecting your vehicle's car battery will usually reset this setting, and you will have to repeat the 20-click process. [2, 10, 11, 12, 13]
Could you tell me what make and model you are driving? I can confirm if this trick is known to work for your specific car.

Yeah AI gave me answers as well, but also said it wouldn't work on the 6th gen 4Runner.

Hence my question to @Alderash : "Haven't seen this before on the 6th gen, how do you do it on our 4Runners? "

I can tell you that turning off the chime for the front seats using Clarista didn’t work for me.

 

[Desert_6Gen]

For anyone who gets this. I suggest only getting the monthly subscription. It's one of those devices most people will use once and never use it again. So paying for a entire year is pointless. I ended up returning mine after I tried changing some settings that didn't work. They refused to refund the subscription since it was purchased through the app store. They could have if it was purchased through their website; so keep that in mind.

personally i turned off the seatbelt chime on the driver seat only, the passenger seat still beeps to remind the wife to buckle up since she has a bad habit of taking forever at times.

that was using carista

Thank you for sharing this! I used a similar procedure on my Crosstrek years back for the same annoyance.
