Just wondered if it was possible to turn that off? Kinda annoying to sit in the car, warming up and hear the warning chime go off.

 

Just did this a week ago. Super easy. Quick google search should get you pointed in the right direction.
While I was in there, I added needle sweep at start up and gear indicator (instead of just D, I now have D1, D2, etc)

 

Thanks, I should should have searched...

Here are the instructions if anyone else is curious...

One of the things that keeps me in the VAG family. I hate all the bings and bongs these new cars make every time you do something.

 

FYI, if you only want to do it temporarily you can hit the button on the underside of the wiper stalk and it will mute the chimes. Great if you have something heavy in the front seat that doesn't require a seat belt - mother-in-law maybe - LOL
