I picked up my new GR86 two weeks ago and I had that seat belt "chime" turned off before I pulled off the dealer's lot, lol. (I watched a video before I bought the car)

[@spectre6626]

7:10 Is it availablethe for automatic??? Pls answer

[@rich8945]

Just picked up my white BRZ today and these were the first changes I made. Thanks for the content brotha! Also ordered clear side markers to install. Plan on wrapping the roof, side mirrors and trunk in black, cant wait to get it all done. Most fun I've ever had driving in my life!

[@brzo.]

progress?

[@MistaFaro]

Dude!! Thank you sooo much for that seatbelt chime off trick, I've gotten irritated so many times having to turn my car completely off lol, God bless you! 🙏

[@CaptainBlitz]

How to stop the seatbelt chime: Wear your seatbelt.

[@jedironin380]

Thanks for the tips! I'm hoping to get a '22 BRZ later this year... I had a 2011 Mustang GT that had the "sound tube" from the engine into the car, just behind the pedals. FIRST thing I did was rip that silly thing OUT! haha

[@rich8945]

I hope your dreams come true my friend.

The seatbelt chime hack - I was like - come on - no way - but it worked! So cool! Thanks Ben! Also changed my RPM screen too! The orange and red looks so cool together. Also cool to get a little warning color flash when to shift which of course is just a suggestion. I set mine at 3500 just to enhance my gas mileage when I am just doing daily driving.

[@BenLovrien]

Hey man just came across your channel a few days ago and I’ve already seen all of your videos on the brz. I kinda wanted one before but now it’s my number one car I want right now. You’ve been doing a great job and I hope you hit it big

[@robertsavello4120]

Did the seatbelt thing the other day in mine. i check my mail on my way home then drive across the parking lot and having the seatbelt chime is annoying as shit. I adjusted my rev settings the 2nd day i had my car. It's been helpful when I get on it I don't have to pay attention to the revs, i can watch the road and shift when it beeps at me. I have been too lazy to disable my active sound because it's cold where i am. I need to though, because i hate it. Disabled it in my GTI back in the day the 2nd day i owned it.

[@inc1t3Ful]

Congrats on 1m views ! :D Looking forward to whats to come for the build

I just took out my active sound control as well and it sounds amazing, got the HKS Hi-Power SPEC-L II on the way. Which catback did you get on there ?

[@jangelopabunan93]

what are you using to record? because gahtdamn my subs woke the hell up when you cold started and drove lol. really picked up the deep rumble that usually gets clipped with most car vids i watch.

[@michelfortier9563]

The seat belt chimes just drive me nuts! Can't figure out what they were thinking.....After you do this, has it come back, like days later or do you have to do this every so often?

[@iversonjcameron]

There's a video how to get behind the instrument panel to turn it off and disconnect it

[@Speedster_ELuu86]

I still haven’t been able to disable my hill assist and I haven’t done the seat belt chime yet but the sound generator disabled is more enjoyable for me

[@dwn5hft]

Hey I didn't realize you were in AZ. I live in the valley, I'd love to check out your BRZ in person because I'm absolutely fascinated with the new increased displacement they have. Definitely post up when you're going to the next meet or pavs or something!

[@deriac8365]

Just got myself a new BRZ, if you talk to your dealership, they will deactivate the sound by computer so you dont have to leave the cable unplugged and just hanging out there. Your sales rep might not know, but just have them talk to their service tech.

[@djpreview]

Do a video of how to fully deactivate traction control off. 👍🏻

[@afbrat1963]

Is the the constant seat belt reminder chime something new? I have a 2016 and the chime on my BRZ, although still annoying, will stop after about 30 seconds. As far as setting RPM for shifting and the beeping for when to shift, I would say to RTFM. I would bet that 90% of car owners never take the time to RTFM.

[@destanigagen5933]

Thank you for the seatbelt trick. It did not seem real at first. But thanks

[@itstashaa]

IS THE BRZ A HARD CAR TO CLIMB IN AND OUT OF IM OLDER GUY ?

[@afbrat1963]

I would say a lot depends on your physical condition. I am an avid runner. I am 59 and have no issues.

[@maginext]

Wish more time was taken with the GR86 modded with all the GR options. Those parts are scarce. Not even aware their are available for our USDM market

[@stephentarasiewicz1888]

lol when did you get your brz ? I already got more km than you. Just put summer tires on today too !

[@gtrrealreels7339]

I don't mean to sound like your mother or anything but you should never move your car without buckling up, no matter how useless or fast you might think the occasion is. Many deadly accidents happen in those moments of negligence. Its really not worth it.

[@agustinurbano]

quicker fix for the seatbelt play music over it. The passenger beep eventually stops, I remember a passenger taking off a sweater and it'd' beep till it stopped after a whiiile like *aight then see what happens* this was on a 2013 model tho but probably true for current subies unless no lmao. congrats on the car. drift it and do donuts in it kinda responsibly for good luck. i've gotten lucky w meaty used Pirelli's, Falken, and Michelin sport tires + mounted for $35 each ($40 adjusted for inflation) unless you're a new grip guy then that's wassup

[@boost331]

I literally did everything on this list before I pulled off the dealer lot. LOL Also in the dash settings the "GSI" is the gear select indicator. I turned that off. No more flashing telling me to shift when I dont want to, or showing me what gear I am in like I forgot after I physically selected the gear myself.

[@BenLovrien]

I don’t like it either, need to do that😂

[@ragweedmakesmesneeze]

During some car races I've done, I've forgotten what gear I'm in (or not sure after a sloppy shift into/out of a corner) and would have liked a dashboard indicator! Because looking away from the windshield in a race is terrifying! Similarly, the flashing lights and beeping gear indicators are helpful features when you are dealing with intense on track experiences. But yeah for basic daily driving duties, probably not necessary or even wanted.

[@boost331]

@@ragweedmakesmesneeze I do have the beep indicator on because this car seems to rev forever and I found myself short shifting when trying to push it. The gear thing, I guess I just remember and can tell by speed as well.

[@ragweedmakesmesneeze]

@@boost331 I think most of us were taught to "short shift," because it's civilized and saves gas and dad said so, etc. It was an "ear opening" experience the first time I was in a race car and discovered, that basically I had to keep a 4 cylinder Miata screaming at 5000+ rpms at all times if I wanted any hope of keeping pace! haha.
