Thought I had an issue with my seat belt warning alarm at the weekend. Stopped to buy some milk, got back in the car, belted up and drove off. Seat belt alarm went off. Checked my clip, all in securely. Took me another couple of hundred metres to realise it was the weight of the carton of milk that'd tricked the passenger side seat into thinking someone was sitting in it and hadn't belted up
Think its on the facelift cars as standard my SE never had it but has now since software upgrade not that fussed already have the reverse parking sensors singing away now they have some competition with the bonger all i need to do now is pop in a CD with the line This vehicle is reversing and i'm there

sorted in 5 mins, im well chuffed. thanks Dean
Just to follow up - I looked this weekend for the seatbelt warning chime. It is not under the panels on the left hand steering foot well. The sound seems to be coming more from inside the steering wheel column. Don't think I want to go in there looking for it....

Hi, time traveler Steve here from the future to revive this. Having just picked up a car with this god awful annoying noise, I did some googling and came across this thread.
For anyone wondering, on my UK 2004 convertible, after dropping the knee panel, the sounder has 3 connectors going to it (sounder is on the right hand side of the panel when looking into the footwell). One large one at the front, and 2 smaller ones (left and right) immediately behind it). Right hand rear connector was the PDC noise, which I found out after removing first and testing the car, and it also put a warning light on the dash (although this cleared immediately once I plugged it back in). Left hand connector is the one you want for the reverse bong - unplugged and tested, now silent.
God bless forums. Thanks

Removing the screws of the driver side footwell panel, you will get access to the wires that go into the gong. Unplug the short white connector (not the long one, that's your 12V power), that will disconnect the reverse gong. as for the seatbelt beep, just like me we're stuck with the terrible 90's style buzzer that is soldered to the instrument panel. Couldn't find a way to code that out at all.
Later versions of the car (from '04 onwards i think) redirected all sounds to the gong unit on the footwell panel.
posted mine as an example, black/blue is for the PDC gong and the long connector is power, so you can leave those plugged in. couldnt find my white connector reverse signal for some reason (my PDC was retrofitted so i had to hunt for these cables behind the pedals.)
