So the seatbelt chime appears to be addressed in the FAQ but apparently those links don't work so maybe someone can check on that?

Today I pulled one of the cables under my seat (the one that runs from my seatbelt) to eliminate the chime. I knew it was a gamble and if this is my excuse to get the the ross-tech cable and software then so be it. Regardless, I'm surprised I haven't found a non software solution. Anyone have any luck just jumping wires in this connection to fake the seatbelt switch being closed/open?

Lastly from what i've read, when the airbag light is on the system will not function if in a crash, can someone confirm that please? Thanks
