Well, on most cars it is nothing more than a module similar to a turn signal module and is easily tracked down by ear.



Although I have completely failed to find same module on my Lexus and think it may be hidden by attorneys. However an enterprising Lexus owner actually came up with a "software hack" that eliminates the seatbelt warning noise, by doing nothing more than pushing, holding and cycling the odometer/trip odometer buttons while connecting/disconnnecting the seat belt and turning the ignition on/off.

Here is a list from the New York times: Five Things I Hate About New Cars



among them:

- the map light. It is positioned above my rearview mirror.

- At a minimum, the sun visor ought to be capable of shielding the driver’s eyes from the A pillar to the rearview mirror.

- why can’t Americans have the wide-angle driver’s exterior mirrors that Europeans get?

- How about audible alarms that continue to chime when you leave your keys in the ignition?

- How about more automakers putting that little arrow on the fuel gauge to remind me which side of the car the fuel filler is on?



Also lots of reader comments via the link above.
