i turned the volume of the gong to -5, and it's still hella loud...

so i went into the service center this afternoon, and mentioned how the head mechanic told me how to unplug the connector in the X5, and wanted to see if it was the same for the 1. he called the mechanic, and apparently. because it's federally mandated to alert you when the seatbelt isn't buckled, there's no way to bypass and turn off all chimes/gongs. it's routed through the whole system, and there's no way to turn it off. it was a pleasure when i had the X5 and it was totally quiet, and now the 1 chimes at me all the time, but what can we do... i'm hoping the more time the service guys spend with the car the more they'll learn and hopefully find a workaround to this issue...
