ahaydock Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 Does anyone know whether the seat belt audible warning alarm can be turned on and off via the VAG COM on the A3 8P? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DukeDesmo Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 Didn't know there was one, not on mine there's not. Which probably means it can be (unless it's just not on mine). Someone will know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Wilson Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 If its the same as the B7 A4/S4 series then the answer is yes as I have disabled this on my wifes S4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spook Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 Yes, it can be done with VAG-COM. I did it on my recently-departed A3 3.2 S-Line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahaydock Posted November 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 Thanks guys, is that all it does? I doesn't turn on the auto door lock feature does it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booster Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 Why do you ask? Do you drive with your seatbelt off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahaydock Posted November 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 No, but I have passengers that do, and sometimes I don't realise they're not wearing them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahaydock Posted November 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 Ah interesting, then maybe I wont bother. Thanks for that. I had an A4 Avant loan car and I'm certain that did it for both sides, and assumed the A3 would be the same. But maybe I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahaydock Posted November 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 I'm gonna check it out on a new A3 that I know the drivers side works on and report back... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DandB Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 I can confirm that the seat belt warning sound only alerts when the driver is not wearing a belt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tunbridge Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 Makes sense really, what if you drive without a passenger, how does the car know if the seat is empty and hence the seat belt is not required? Obviously the driver seat will always be occupied and that’s why it will only work on the driver’s side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vertigo1 Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 Some cars have sensors in the seats so they know if someone's actually in it but whether the A3 has this is doubtful tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s3ollie Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 Most car have them to tell the seat belt tensioners to work in a crash i think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahaydock Posted November 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 I've tried the A3 and can confirm only the drivers side works! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
