Why would you want to?! You get in the car, put your seat belt on then drive away. You shouldn't really ever hear the seat belt noise...
I hear the noise when I have my gym bag sat on the front seat!!!!! Drives me nuts!

 why do you need a bleep to remind you to put your seatbelt on??  :huh: every time you sit in the car with the ignition on and no seat belt then the chiming starts, its a stupid bit of technology that nobody really needs!

notnormal.......whats with the indicators on like that? what the purpose? ive seen a fair few american GTI's like that but what is the setting actually for?  :smiley:

Looking cool, nice pic!
Just out of interest how did you stop the damn seat belt bonging!!

I have never had the seat belt bong i didn't realise it was activated by the seat, maybe its because i have different seats.  :undecided:

You can blame NCAP for that, it's a stipulation of attaining a 5 star rating.

Plus mine only chime when the car is actually moving...

The passenger seat has a pressure sensor on the seat base, the driver seat only has the sensor on the seat belt clip mounted the the seat runner

Also have had mine turned off as it drove me nuts when I had bags etc on the front the seat.

Id also love the code for the US DRLs, quite snazy and simple imo.
