Default seat belt alarm

Is there any way to turn off the annoying seat belt alarms in the 2005 Audi A4 Quattro 3.2 Liter?

Wear your seatbelt. Or if your a dumbass you can go to a junkyard and buy a belt and plug it into the latch. Or if your abitious you can rewire the belt so it thinks its always plugged in.

You can actually disable the chime through the VAG-COM.
On newer cars, the chime continues when you're in the car with the ignition on. It doesn't just chime once then stop. It keeps chiming. Really annoying if you're just chilling in a parking spot, or washing your car for example.

You can set it to chime only once, like earlier cars, or disable the chime feature entirely. The seat belt warning on the dash will function as normal.

Hoping you can share more info on how to turn off that horrible seat belt alarm in the A4. This thing is going to drive me crazy. What the heck was Audi thinking - it's beyond a normal alarm - for example, I had something heavy on the passenger seat the other day which must have weighed enough to register as a person - I had to listen to the alarm for half an hour! For the driver seat - you don't have to have weight on the seat - it works based on the key being in the ignition sowhen you are in park - washing/vaccuming the car - when ever the key is in the ignition that alarm sounds!!!! I wear my seat belt when I'm driving - they should have made it so it only goes off when the car is in drive and they should have given you the ability to override the passenger seat! And could they have choosen a worse sound???

Anyway - for 2 years this thing has driven me nuts - I must disable it - PLEASE!!
