The OP is referring to removing his seatbelt with the vehicle ON, car in PARK, while attempting to handle phone calls with the phone tethered to his vehicle via bluetooth. This requires using the relatively small microphone installed inside the vehicle. As for why he can't just use his phone as a handset, it's possible that he's a realtor or businessman that might require the use of both hands in order to write things in a notebook, and that holding his handset would unnecessarily complicate the process of taking notes.

At no point was he referring to driving on the New Jersey Turnpike with his seatbelt unhooked, alarm disabled, waiting to fly through his windshield and die. He was talking about while the vehicle is parked and so he can use his bluetooth capability a little easier, without yelling in a presumably thick Jersey accent.

Settle down people and just answer the question. Or better yet, if you don't have a constructive answer and just want to chide someone for your perceptions of what they are doing, just move on without posting.

Fair comment. However, in my X5, as long as I push the start button once (no ignition, engine not running) I can use hands free bluetooth. Without the engine running, there is no seatbelt chime.

Once the engine is running, the chime won't start until I've driven a couple of hundred yards/meters. So, frankly the only interpretation of his problem is driving without a seatbelt.

The solution is turn off the engine and then restart it while in park (if you need the power for something). No chime = no issue.
