Beeping when opening the door

Do you mean when the key is left in? On a mk3 you can turn it off with Carista. One of the first things I did, it's so loud!

I tried hard to remove the beeping with OBD11, unfortunately it works only partially (if at all)...
If you are in N it doesn't work. There are many situations in which I am in N with electronic brake on and I want to open the door to check the car alignment for example (I don't even get out of the car). It always beeps, no matter what I try in OBD11. I have a WLTP Cupra.

If you put it in N, why not just put it in P? I don't think I've ever used N. I'll test it later though

Two reasons in my opinion (I might be wrong):
1. When you put it in P you need to force it a little bit and you hear some clunk noises (especially if the car is on a slight gradient), so I suppose it produces more wear to the DSG, which is why I avoid it if I can;
2. If you are stopped in an area where you could be hit by another car, in case of a hit the damage to the DSG would be much higher in P than in N.

Do you leave it in N when you're parked then? I only put it in P when I'm actually parked at my final destination. The rest of the time it's in D and I just let the auto handbrake do its thing, I assume that's fine as that's what it's meant for. I guess I see your logic with the potential wear on the DSG when driving off with the auto handbrake until it releases, but I assume that must be negligible otherwise why would it have it.

hmm...
1. I don't need to force mine at all - and I don't think you should have to!
2. I can see no reasons why that would be so, but whether it is or not it seems an odd thing to worry about
Because in P you stick a piece of metal between the gears of the DSG. A (small) crash into the back of the car will break the gears.
But back to topic: how can you stop the beeps when you open the door?
Yes, this is what I also think.
I leave it in N only when I'm in or around the car. If I try to lock the car in N and leave, the alarm activates, but the doors remain unlocked. Maybe this is because I have an aftermarket alarm (installed by the Seat dealer), not the factory one. So I put it in P when I want to lock the car and leave.
