Default Is there a VAG mod to get rid of the "door open" chime while the car is ON?

I got rid of the seatbelt chime, but I notice when I get out of my car to get the mail or something, while the car is still running, it is still chiming to tell me that a door is open. At least now when I drive up the driveway with no seat belt after getting the mail, no more seatbelt chime. I realize that it might be more of a convience feature to let you know that a door is open, but is there a VAG code mode to get rid of the "door open while the engine is ON" chime?

Default Doubt it

Who knows, it might be encoded elsewhere that could be changed with the VAG (re.: they found a way to open/close the sunroof with the A3 via the key but it's encoded elsewhere).

Default If you did disable it, how would you know if your door was ajar?

I know, a door is a door and a jar is a jar, but the friendly voice on my 84 300ZX kept telling me that my door was a jar.

Default The dash/cluster would still light up with the door open picture

Which what I was used to on my previous car. When I opened the door, there would be a picture of the driver side door pictured on my cluster but no annoying chime.

What's even more annoying is at night, when you have the headlights on in the A4 and it's a solid chime like a smoke alarm. Really annoying when I jump out out of the car to get the mail or something.

Default Tanner, Ive been searching the Search on AW and ran into many posts of yours concerning VAG codes...

and I am asking you since I feel you might be able to give me some direction. I have also seen your informational posts on RS6.com.

finally, im going to a GTG tomorrow in my area and someone is bringing their VAG tool.


my car:
B7, waiting to do windows up/down, seatbelt chime, and 1-touch unlock.

my questions to you are...

1) does this link (you once posted) to the ross-tech site of the B6 codes apply to the B7?

http://www.ross-tech.com/vag-com/cars/audiB6.html

2)if Q#1 doesnt apply, would you know of the codes for a b7 for:
a.windows up/down
b.seatbelt chime
c.1-touch unlock doors on keyfob
could you post them.

3) while on subject of posting, is there a way that someone, anyone, could simply post the codes and keep them in our AW Tech section?
(i would go there and not ask anyone if they were there for ref.)


thanks.
