Is it possible to change # of blinks from 3 to 5 and eliminate seatbelt chime?

[Wdlfbio]

New to Tesla. Had several BMWs prior. On most of those, I acquired the necessary software/hardware to code in/out various parameters that I wanted changed. I set the # of blinks for a quick blinker tap, from 3 to 5. Three just seems too short to kindly alert other drivers and I don’t want to fully activate the blinker and then turn it off a couple seconds later. 5 worked great. 3 blinks and the associated time for blind spot camera video to pop up seems too short. Any way to extend these?

Also, my driveway is about 175 yards and when it’s raining, I’ll drive to get mail (which is pretty often in western WA). Anyway to turn off the seat belt nanny chime?

No and no. The problem is worse with the FSD beta as it often does not signal until the very last moment.

Amazon and eBay are full of easy ways to defeat the alarm. There are so many options, even ones that have both the insert AND a buckle, so you can still buckle up when it's a bit dicey out on the roads (without removing the defeat tool)

I used a popular search engine to find them: fake seat belt buckle - Google Search

Tesla actually just had a recall because (horror of horrors) the seatbelt chime wouldn't always sound and 'put drivers at risk!'

I would assume you meant connecting to the CAN bus and directly programming various controllers. With Tesla the approach is somewhat different because of the more capable central unit. The regular CAN port is not used for anything, especially given that Tesla is not ICE.
The real CAN bus port is in a different spot, with different connector (they have them on Amazon). However, the central unit holds most of the options, as part of the firmware. So, you will be able to listen to the events on the bus but have to change the firmware in order to do things like before.

There are no coding tools for teslas like for BMW (or audi), so, no, you wont be coding anything like that at all.
