I know this is an old topic but I tried this procedure on my '21 Laramie and it does not seem to be working.

Anyone else have similar experience?

 
Took me a few tries, but I was able to get it to work on my '21 lImited. Make sure when you turn the ignition to the on position, you push it twice. Otherwise you will be Acc, not On.

I wear mine but you can't dictate when or if your front seat passenger wears their seatbelt. I'm not listening to the seatbelt chime if they don't wear a seatbelt or don't put it on right away.
 
can alpha obd disable it? mine doesn't have a chime at all but not sure how it was disabled. the dash still says if driver or pass isn't buckled but it never chimes at all.

Surprisingly, at least in the HD trucks, AlfaOBD cannot disable it. Only the "official" method works.

If somebody is adamant about not wearing the seatbelt in my truck, they can find another ride. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Clicking and un-clicking the belt for example at boat ramps, backing up to a trailer, or moving limbs/branches to minimize off-road pinstriping gets old quick. The chime is designed to make you crazy until you put on your seatbelt, unless you don't need the belt

Although I don't know anyone who was ticketed for a passenger not wearing a seatbelt, many states can ticket both the unbuckled passenger and the buckled-up driver. The driver is responsible for making sure everyone in the vehicle is adhering to the laws.

I worded that last sentence poorly. I give my passengers ample time to put on their seatbelts, but some put it on after dicking around with other things they deem more important. None have ever not worn their seatbelt for more than a ~1/4 mile or so. Fortunately, I don't have to listen to the chime while they take their time getting buckled up.

Because it scares away the deer and pigs when I'm hunting. In the woods where I'm not going to use the belt. And, yes, it is legal to do not wear it on private property.

Thanks. I did follow that. Even getting the come at the end that should acknowledge. Trying again...
 
Repeated process three times today.

Each time, I get the acknowledgement chime and for about 10-20sec, I just get the seatbelt light with no chimes.

But then my truck starts chiming again.

Turn it off, rinse and repeat and it works for a short time and then reverts.

Along with constantly forgetting that I've paired my phone, I becoming convinced I got a 🍋 for an infotainment and general computer system.
