Adding an aftermarket seatbelt warning
Discussion
Hi all
I have recently switched cars back to an octavia from a Mazda6 for the daily slog to work.
Anyway, the Mazda had a 'little Hitler' seatbelt warning that got worse as you moved or time passed, reminding me I didn't have a belt on.
Sadly, the skoda doesn't have one and I've started to allow the habit of not wearing a belt creep back in.
So, is there any easy way to fit an aftermarket one?
To those who will doubtless bang on about how its easy to remember and they are so close to godliness they would never consider not wearing the belt, please refrain from commenting. This is about something that will annoy the st out of me until I put it on, because I just can't break the habit!

Its fairly simple electronics - a normally closed relay, a buzzer, a feed from switched live and some sort of microswitch or similar which is pushed when the belt is clipped into the clip. I'd imagine the difficult part is the slot/clip - I'd imagine you could find a replacement clip/slot which has the wiring you need from a scrappy, either that or try to disassemble the existing one and insert a microswitch.....simple.....or have I been around kit cars for too long
