Can you disable side airbags?

alistairhurst · Jun 9, 2013

Hi

I removed the grey leather interior and replaced it with a black one, the grey had side airbags in the front seats and the black doesn't. Now I'm getting an airbag fault, is there any way around this?

Cheers

Datatek used a resistor in the connection to simulate the presence of the airbag....no idea what type or ohm rating though!

Yup DATATEK is your man. He's fooled the electronics into thinking that they're still connected after he had one go off.

Probably the best bang that the old lad has managed in years.

Yes it can be done, I have no parts in stock at the moment. PM me if you want details.
