Can you turn off the seatbelt warning "ding"?

[AdamD]

I was just wondering if there was going to be a easy way but i guess not. ergh....

Sure there is. See this thread for the details of a member nearby who can help you disable the chime. The instructions are in this post (see tweak #3). Easy!

Isn't you dog meant to be restrained in a moving car?

usually, it just uses the buckle to activate a switch..
if you look at the wiring in the seat, closing the circuit should appear as though the belt is on.
VCDS change is a better option as it's reversible.

Alternatively, you could get a spare buckle from a wrecker, and just plug it in...
