How do you disable the seatbelt warning beeper on a 2008 Element?
Buckle up before starting the car.

That's near impossible these days.
The only way I've found is to unsolder (or plug) the piezo-electric noisemaker on the Multiplex Control Unit under the dash.
it's built into the unit that does all the other warning signals, wash/wipe, etc. unless you don't want any of those functions, you're out of luck. if you leave it, it should stop after a few seconds.

Unsoldering the beeper (as I mention in my other post) will turn off ALL the warnings.
Nope. It will repeat about every 90 seconds, while driving, until you buckle up.
The best solution is to use the factory supplied seatbelts. As a side-benefit, they may even save your life, and at very least will save you money on tickets...
Buckle up before getting into the seat. The seatbelt doesn't know that it's not around you.
but you don't want that, especially not the warning for leaving the headlights on! trust me on that one.
that must be new - i've not noticed that on hondas up to 2003.
There's a socket and two wire colour red and one blackred. link to the seatbelt. just have to remove it. and you are free from your beeper. basically thats about it.
My '06 Si can be quite annoying if someone gets in that prefers not to wear the belt. I have come to the point that I threaten bodily harm on the individual that won't wear it. I figure my sanity is well worth a fight... ;-)
no need for conflict - just stop the car and wait. they soon get the message.

Actually, I do.
I disconnected all my warnings about 13 years ago and have not missed them since.
With no fall-back, I am triple-careful to make sure I have my keys and have turned the lights off before I leave the car. In the 13 years since I have neither locked myself out nor left the lights on accidentally.

Didn't think of that. That connector's circuit is open when you do up the buckle, and closed when the belt is not done up. Just might work.
Just a thought - why not go to a breakers yard or an auto parts store, get the male end for the seat belt, insert it into the female end in your car, and what do you get?! No seat belt alarm, the rest of your warning bells, buzzers, etc; still work and the operability of the seat belt beeper is still available.
My two cents worth.
