Seatbelt warning chime
A small point--does anyone know how to disconnect or disable the seatbelt warning chime that erupts a nanosecond after you start the car, and never, ever ends.
I'd get in there with wire cutters myself, but don't want the OBD to start giving me the third degree.

My guess is you could buy a new seat belt clip from Porsche and just click it in there. However why wouldn't you wear your seat belt? A seat belt saved the life of two of my friends years ago. Maybe it's just me and I am not nocking you for it but I wear my belt no matter where I am going.

Well if it is that it comes on quickly there are worse things that could happen. For example..... In my 02 Boxster S when you hit the turn signles you can hardly here them click, it is the perfect volume. Why in the 997 CS did they deside to go back to a loud 20k car like sound turn signal. I will never hit it until last minute because of how loud they are.

More detail, so that you guys don't think I'm a troglodyte: I always wear my belt. But when I have to take the belt off with the engine running (like to get my wallet for the access card to my building parking garage and then drive three levels down) there is an incessant beeping reminding me to wear my seatbelt in the parking garage. Or I take the belt off to drop off videos in the drop box, or get out change to pay the toll, or pull over to make a cell phone call, or run in to get a paper and I have a passenger...you get the idea.
Like I said, a very small detail, but I'll bet, somewhere out there, sometime, someone else is bugged about being reminded to "be a big boy" and buckle up.

For the record, I didn't think you were a troglodyte. As a matter of fact I need to go look that up..... 
Hmm, I certainly didn't think you were any of these:
1.
1. A member of a fabulous or prehistoric race of people that lived in caves, dens, or holes.
2. A person considered to be reclusive, reactionary, out of date, or brutish.
2.
1. An anthropoid ape, such as a gorilla or chimpanzee.
2. An animal that lives underground, as an ant or a worm.

the only reason you would not want the belt or would want to fool the belt, would be if you are using 6 point harnesses instead
in that case, the alarm can be disabled by the dealer, or you can clip the belt behind the seat, or you can use a dummy buckle.
if you are not using a 6pt harness instead, it is stupid not to wear your seatbelt.

The noise drives me crazy also, more cars are doing this now, my 2005 Audi S4 has this same noise and it can be canceled by some computer magic according to Audiworld forums.
