Stupidest post of the month right here!!
I hate it when people have no regard and take no responsibility for themselves like that... Its like they just dont comprehend life and death all that well... Like they dont understand the forces of nature and energy.. Take a minute and try and think how it would feel to be thrown through a windshield in a tragic accident that may not even be your fault.. With your face torn in half, barely coherant, hearing voices the witness's gathering round, calling 911.. The sirens, spewing blood, finaly noticeing after you get used to all the surrounding noises and confusion that your arm was torn off.. Then shock kicks in, Somehow knowing in your mind that this could have been prevented by wearing a seat belt. then you bleed to death on the way to the hospital.... You leave your family/wife/husband/kids/life behind without you just because you are a LAZY DUMBASS. I really dont think lazy dumbass's deserve to die, they can learn! It interesting how the bad things which can happen in life can be prevented taking simple precautions. Its part of being "responsible."
Agreed. Here's a brutal reminder of what can happen..

Can you tell us B5ers how to activate the ding with vag com? Mine doesnt ding at all.

Do you get dings for a headlights on with the door open? On B5's it was kind of common for the speaker in the instrument cluster to crap out.

Yes the seatbelt chime is VERY annoying. Even to a avid seat belt wearer like myself. It dings non stop even after you put on your seatbelt. It dings if someone gets in the car and sits in the passenger seat. You can't even sit in the car with it idling without it on. It is much more annoying than the B5 or the B6.


That is the part I hate, I spend alot of time sitting in the car out of gear with the ebrake on, yet still have to be belted in or it beeps. Just need to find someone with a Vag.

Yeah i have the door open/headlights on ding.. My seatbelt light doesnt even light up when the seatbelt is off.. It does show up when the ignition is in the on position and the car is off though.

Those beeps are there for a reason so u don't kill yourself. I know someone who wasn't wearing a seatbelt lost control of there bmw went into a ditch, proceeded to fly 100 m down the road till they stopped and died at the scene. remember that could be you next time
