Default I've seem 2 posts in the past 2 days about VAGing away the seatbelt beep

People have replied about simple (but potentially hazardous) ways to beat it but no one has replied that it can definitely be disabled and I didn't see it mentioned on the VAG websites. Can that infernal beeping be turned off? It's driving me crazy too and I would love to turn it off.

Default Just do a search, there is a way.....

Copied from another post......

Enter 5-digit code from below

Mine was coded to 01231.

Recoded to 01229. No more seat gong.

I took this from posts I found while searching for the same answer. It worked like a charm and took my mechanic "s4master" about 2 minutes.

I don't know whether or not the dealer will do it for you.

Default Just wear the damn belt.

I grew up driving cars that didn't even have seatbelts and was never a fan of the belt. But you only have to watch a few auto races and see drivers(wearing harnesses) walk away from severe accidents. BTW, without your seatbelt on, the deployment of the airbag can do more harm than good!

Default Yep. Did mine a long time ago.

Mine was coded to 01231.

Recoded to 01229. No more seatbelt chime.


Select]
[17 - Instruments]
[Recode - 07]
Write down the existing coding for future reference.
Enter 5-digit code from below
[Do It!]

Look at the first two digits in the coding. Add the values for the options together to get the correct coding.

00 - No available equipment
+01 - Brakepad wear sensor warning active
+02 - Seatbelt warning active
+04 - Washer fluid level warning active (may only work with pre-2000 models)
+16 - Navigation System (non-USA models)

Look at the third digit in the coding (Market version):

0 - "Germany" 24 hour clock
1 - "Rest of World" 24 hour clock
2 - "USA" 12 hour clock
3 - "Canada" 12 hour clock<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/s4b6/msgs/102021.phtml">Original post</a></li></ul>
