Default 2007 A8 seat belt chime disable...can anyone help?

As much as I love this car, I hate the seat belt chime...has to be the dumbest design on the planet! It chimes even when in "park". The dealer whispered to me that there are folks out there that can disable it (the dealer is not allowed to for legal reasons), but there are computer codes that can disable it. Can someone point me in the right direction please?

Default You need a VAG COM to do it. Do you have one or know someone who does?

I do not have one, nor do I know someone who does. I am located in the northern-suburban Atlanta area, so if you know someone, please feel free to share! Thanks.
