How is the best way to disable the seat belt warning dinger? I don't need a seat belt for a slow drive around my rural neighborhood.

i went to the dealer and had it deactivated for 30 EUR. But the usual disclaimer: at your own risk

For those guys that buy the seat belt clip, just keep in mind that it alters the way your airbags deploy when in an accident, because the car thinks it is deploying the airbag against a belted human...

I'll skip the mechanics, don't like fiddling with my car. Just one question to anyone, can the chime be disabled by the dealers via the software?
