There is a way, but I can't find the link right now. I'll keep looking, but don't worry there is a fix and all it is is a combination of holding down the odometer reset button and clicking the seatbelt in and out. Stay tuned.
This may only apply to 05+, as I believe they have a much more aggrivating and longer warning chime for the driver and passenger seatbelts. I got this information from the toyota nation forums:
1. turn the key to the ON position, foot off the brake
2. cycle the odometer with the trip reset button until the ODO is displayed (not trip A or B )
3. turn the ignition to the LOCK (OFF) position
4. unbuckle the driver's seatbelt if it was buckled.
5. turn the key to the ON position. when the dash lights have come on, press and hold the trip reset button and count a slow 12 seconds.
6. while still holding the trip reset button, buckle the driver's side seatbelt.
7. the odometer display should read "b ON" or "b OFF". toggle the beep OFF with the trip reset.
8. the process should be completed when you unbuckle or turn the key off.
it took me several tries to get it to work, but its good to go now! apparently this method was derived from the Prius reverse beep disable. I haven't been able to figure out that one yet. if y'all know anything, let me know please.
BTW: I shouldn't need to extol the virtues of seatbelt wearing. If you die or get a black eye from an airbag that deployed when you weren't buckled, don't blame me. Blame your mother who didn't raise you right.
Black eye from air back deployment while not wearing a seat belt? More like a concussion. You'll hit the steering column way before the airbag goes off, so it'll throw you head back against the headrest as if it were nothing. People have broken their necks that way. But like TRIX said, it's your life.

Oh I so need to do this.....thank you and dont worry I will be wearing my seatbelt its just for going
down my very long driveway.You know...you stop to get the mail and you dont feel like clicking it in
only to have it BEEEEEEP at you all the way into the garage !!!!So Anoying !!!
For step five, I have had great success counting 20 seconds instead of 12 or 15. I am like you as I wear my seat belt 99.99% of the time, I just hate the buzz from my mailbox to my house 150 feet away.
I turned the buzzer off but than I noticed that the passanger air back is OFF as well! So I turned the buzzer back ON and the air back i ON too. I prefer to hear beeping from time to time but all tha safety features of my car to be working properly! Be carefull guys! Drive safe!
Everything works normally. It's just the annoying buzzer that you can disable so it won't keep buzzing for ever. It still buzzes 3 or 4 times, then stops. That's all this mod does.
