And before the smart ones come on and say you should have it on it is :laugh:
Anyone else have this problem?

A faulty Passenger seat sensor was my first warranty job back in 2006
Does the alarm relate to the driver or passenger side?

The one thing i hate about my GTI the bloody bong every time you turn the ignition on !!!!!!!!!!!.

Have you placed something on the front passenger seat - IME anything above about 5kg will trigger it...
-
Almost definitely the passenger seat :smiley:

You can change this through VAGCOM so that it only "bongs" once you reach 10mph, rather than as soon as the ignition is turned on. I did this and also set the door autolock function to come on at the same time/speed :cool:

Same here although I have turned off the bong completely. Auto lock is good BUT Im thinking about taking it off as I let the car run for 20 odd seconds the doors wont unlock until I take the keys out and people have almost yanked the handle off trying to get out the car not realising you have to pull it twice if its still locked :undecided:

lol I know but people seems to be desperate to get out the car as soon as its stops (cant imagine why :rolleyes:) and doesnt give me time to unlock it :D :D :D

I've got the full height display and was able to change auto lock etc through this and the stalk controls. Can I change the bonging too, it fook's me off something cronic, especially when parking etc as I like to have the seatbelt off but f**k me I feel like torching the stupid thing sometimes.

Its a safety "feature" (VW get a higher NCAP rating by having it turned on) and can only be done via VAGCOM.

Where in VCDS do I do this?
Am still new to it and not enough time to fiddle around with all the settings yet.
Only figured out how to use long-coding the other day!

It is while since it was done. It is in the convenience settings from memory :cool:
