Actually, I agree with the originator of this thread. That dinging is horrendous. Do I not care for my passengers? That's not it at all; they all wear their seatbelts. However, even an object as light as my briefcase on the passenger seat, with a 6-pack of bubbly water on top (my standard bring-to-work items) sets this thing going. So yes, I would like to find a way to alter or disable this.
