Seat belt chime

Has anyone with the Evoque tried the seat belt chime trick (turn on ignition and buckle/unbuckle 10 tunes quickly under a minute) ?

On the RRS it would switch of the chime but still show the warning sign on the dash.

Ha! I do wear it, can't drive off without wearing it. Occasionally I have passengers who take a year to put it on and the chime is a bit annoying.

It's not about wearing the belt, that's a given it's about the chime. I hate the door one as well.

RE: Seat belt chime

My current car chimes at me frequently (Nissan Murano)

It insists the passenger is not wearing their seatbelt....
Thing is......there is no passenger. Its just me in the drivers seat and my laptop and very heavy handbag on the passenger seat.
I now leave the passenger seat belt clipped in all the time.
Hoping the Evoque is not as "sensitive" Smile

The Murano also insists that I cannot have any door open (including the boot) with the stereo on , which i do often have - I work out of my car, and spend alot of time with the boot open, or arranging paperwork/samples in the boot/backseat - and i like to sing along to my music as I do it.

My other little quirk is i like a song to finish, so when i get into my garage at night, i get out of the car (leaving the radio on) , finishing singing along to the song as I unload the work gear and say hello to the fur kids. All the while the bloody chiming goes on!

I may be a nutter, but the damn car is annoying this nutter! Cant wait to see if my new Evoque will let my singing continue chime free.

Seat belt chime

On eBay you can get little clips that insert into the buckle so the car thinks the belt is in.

In Romania (Bucharest) these little clips are sold at every traffic light, next to iphone/BB car chargers, car fresheners etc.
