Seat belt alarm driving me insane!
« on: November 08, 2012, 10:34:18 pm »
I apologise for not searching the forum for this answer I'm sure it's probably on the forum but I'm being lazy :)

So- I'm out at the pub and after effin and Jeffin at my belt alarm on the way here my half cut friend is saying that you can just pull the wires out the bottom of the seat belt fastening and it stops the alarm... Just wondering if he is correct or being a helmet! Don't wanna try it and end up with a face full of airbag or something lol!

Help!!! :)

Yes you can pull the plug to silence it, use VCDS to  code it out properly or just use the belt.

Maybe put the seatbelt on, before moving off.

Why would you want to disable a safety feature  :stupid:

It is mildly irritating when I put my e.g. footy kit bag on the passenger seat and it pings.

I'd hardly call it a safety feature either. It stops pinging after 40 secs or so anyway!

Then it starts again after a bit I think.


It triggers at a cirtain speed.

10mph I think.

When I bought mine it had already been coded out  :happy2: I always put my seatbelt on automatically anyway, but there's the odd time you just want to move it from the front to the back of the house, I don't need a beep to remind me  :party:

When it gets coded out with VCDS do you still get the symbol on the dash or does that also disappear?
