    I'm with the OP, would love it disabled. There are times when cruising at low speeds where I need to pop off my seatbelt and it can be very annoying.

    Seriously, I don't need a *ding* to tell *ding* me to *ding* put on my seatbelt. We are all (mostly) adults and can take care of ourselves I hope!

    It also ding's if you have a carton of beer on the front seat.



    Silly car, beer isn't a person.

    Yeah its very simple to disable with VagCom. I have disabled mine even though I always wear my seatbelt. In some circumstances l find the chimes to be annoying.

    I haven't checked this thread for a while, but it's great to see how many people took the time to reply and tell us all that wearing the seat belt fixes the problem. Thanks.

    This youtube video is a good DIY for modifying the door chime in VW's, which I think should answer the OP's question.
