Interesting story with this "used" car. I wound up finding this car advertised online at the Audi dealer in Pasadena while searching for used...

Great! Now of someone could post the settings to get the initial fasten seat belt chime and warning for the driver to not bug me when first starting the car, I'd be very appreciative.
