I read on this forum earlier today that using the VAG-COM you can turn off that annoying seat belt reminder chime, so seeing as I am currently borrowing a cable I thought I would do it.

Found the code and the first two digits were 07 as expected which indicates that washer fluid (01), seat belt (02) and brake pad (04) warnings were active. The theory is that you subtract the number of the option you want to remove, so I subtracted 2 and changed the first two digits to 05, leaving all the rest the same. Clicked the "Do It!" button and all seemed good. I can even exit the software, run it again, load the instruments data and see the code still starts with 05.

But the bloody chime is still there!!

Do I need to do anything else? Tried turning it on and off a few times, even locked and unlocked the car, no change.
