Outlander king of beeps

pretensioners
If pretensioners had the power to actually move a seat, they would also crush your body with the seatbelt if you actually hit anything. Just wear the seatbelt if you don't like the beeping. Just as easy a solution.

Wearing the seatbelt is not a solution to disable the beeping, which is the theme of this thread.

Finally - success!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well after a long damn time of putting up with all the annoying noises this Outlander is programmed to make I finally pulled down the dash and located the source of my frustration.
Seems all the noise comes from a small speaker at the rear of the instrument cluster that is responsible for the "click click" for the indicator, the "BING! BING! BING! BING! BING! BING! BING! BING! BING!" for the seat belt reminder and the "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO P" for the you left your lights on business..........all noises I can do without as my brain lets me know the things I have and have not done and I choose to do them in a sequence that works for me
Covering the small hole on the back of the speaker reduces the noise output by around 80%. I tried it with some EPDM foam tape and re-installed and it was not quiet enough for me, tried a few other things and ended up filling the hole with a little bit of silicone. End result is the noise is barely audible, you can hear it if you want but most importantly you can ignore the thing if you so choose.
So get out the screw driver and return to a world of bliss.
Anyone who would like to comment things like "Why don't you just wear your seatbelt" .......please use your time more constructively by standing in front of a mirror and punching your self in the face 19 times till your hand hurts.....or better yet, afford someone else the pleasure and have them do it for you (but please post up a photo when your done)
I always wear my seatbelt, I just hate listening to 10 obnoxious "Bings!" before I get it on, and I shouldn't have to.
Now to find a way to get rid of that Nag screen on the MMCS.....note to Mitsubishi, you can EITHER tell me that using the features of a device while driving is dangerous and make me acknowledge that fact everytime I start my car OR you can prevent me from doing it......not both FFS.
Here is a short film on the relief that can be expected:

While I'm not going to muffle the piezo, I do agree that it's a pain in the backside and badly implemented; hell, I found today that I can't sit in the car and put the windows down without it beeping about the seatbelt! You need to switch the ignition to "On" to put down the windows, and the seatbelt warning occurs then; without the engine even running!
A logical way of implementing the warning would be to activate it if the engine is running and a drive gear is selected. Somehow a 30 second exercise in logic has escaped the combined minds of Mits
Mine's a '12 ZH, no MMCS
