Passenger seat belt alarm issue

[whichway]

Hi

The passenger seat belt alarm keeps coming on when I put books or shopping on that seat. This is a bit annoying to say the least. Any suggestions as to how I can stop this from happening.

Put it on the floor or a back seat. Because you put a weight on front seat it thinks there is a person there hence seat belt alarm

Thanks for that but I wondered whether there was any other way that I could still put things on the seat. Is there some way of either disabling the alarm, or making it sound for less time (say 15 seconds rather than 3 minutes)

Change the country coding on your car to another country with VCDS/Vagcom.

Disable the seat belt alarm for the passenger side with VCDS/Vagcom.

Buy a seat buckle that you clip in so it thinks the seat belt is done up ~$10.

Put the seat belt across and click it in.

Accept that placing heavy books on the front seat will become missiles in an accident so properly secure them (even on the front floor or behind the seats would be better).

This sounds like the simplest remedy !!

But this is a safer option - I'd put them in the boot myself.
