Audi A4 Forum : “Audi Seat Belt Chime Re-programming”

Removing the seat belt chime is super easy but you need a VAG-COM tool to do so.  The dealer might be able to help you but they will charge you.  Where are you located and I might be able to help you.

Dealer says no way- insists it is against the law.  Local tuners won't help either.  I know if I could just find someone with that computer...
I am in New Jersey, right outside of Manhattan.

the dealer may be right, but it can still be done. most tuners wont have the program but any reputable vw shop will... i found a few in jersey but i dont know if they are close.  try this... goto Audizine.com and sign up.  once you are a member find members "jasondmaguire" or "joeycuccaro". they are in jersey and always will to help people out. if you search around you may find more.  also check out the forums. there is an endless amount of info you can find on your car. theres a whole tristate forum in the regionals section of people in your area who can help out.

oh and print this out... just in case they don't know how to take off the chime:

Beautiful , dude- Thank you very much.  I'll post my results, unless it turns out I could be incriminating myself ;).

Pretty soon, I'm going reach my hand up under the dash, and start ripping crap out until that chime STOPS!

I hear you Denny- It is such a shame that this outstanding vehicle is cursed by that blasted seat belt alert.  IT drives me nuts, and I can't
wait to silence it permanently.  Whatever it takes.

haha, no ripping necessary guys, just find the right shop. ripping wires out of an audi is probably the worst possible idea.
