Search around ebay, you can find one of those 'seat belt buckle null insert' for just a few bucks. Some of them even look pretty neat, like carbon fiber look or different colors to match your interior theme.

Regards,

The seller of these clips can be reached at seatbelt@mechanicalmagic.com.

I did not want the bother of the clips. I paid my local P dealer to disable the warning in my car.

My dealer shut the warning off for me when they installed the harness.

I plugged in a set of old belt buckle receptacles, with the null inserts, into the harness plug.
I zip-tied every thing to the floor under the seat. Not an elegant solution but it works for me

LA Porsche dismantlers. That's where I got mine. Negotiate the price, they actually said to me "you own a Porsche don't you, you can afford it. " bastards.

Next time I'll go to a junkyard. VW works too.

I should have thanked you earlier... Thank you

Got mine last week: You e-mail; you Paypal; they show up in the mail a week later. Couldn't be easier.

He only has a couple of off-colours left. I got red, I'm happy.

I think it cost me $25 total all in, which really showed up as $24 something Canadian on my Visa because of the currency situation. This is VERY refreshing
