Default It's amazing how sensitive the passenger seat-belt warning sensor is

There is a spot in the middle of the passenger seat where just a light finger touch will set off the "annoying seat-belt chime" as we all call it.

The sensor seems to be very local as well, just about a square inch or so.

How may have triggered the chime by putting a package or briefcase on the passenger seat?

I got the same problem with mine.

Dealer told me that a recall must arrive from Audi.

It looks like the gel coated placed just under the seat comme under pressure when the seat was covered with tissue or leather. Normaly it must support 40 lbs before the alarm in the dash ring.

Default Agreed, why should a mapbook trigger the chime?

Turned mine off permanently, complained about that to the dealer.
