Any way to disable the seat belt warning chime?

Is there any way a seatbelt extender could cause the restraint mechanism to fail? I can't think of it since the restraint doesn't care how far out it is pulled initially - just that quick, jerk action that locks it up. But I'm wondering from a safety aspect - if the extender itself fails. Maybe my brain is still trying to warm up this morning (it is a frigid 55 degrees in Los Angeles).
Yes of course there is an inherent risk when modifying a fully tested and regulated piece of safety equipment. You can't know for sure unless you do your own testing.

To me the best option might be to buy a universal seatbelt buckle that you can plug in when you want to shut off the alarm. Then just put it in your center console when it's time to put your seatbelt on.
