Thread: Passenger Airbag off - warning light

i bought an airbag switch from the UK to disable my passanger airbag. we use the D3 to compete in navigation events and have a laptop mounted in front of the passenger/navi. I'd hate to see an airbag go off with a laptop in front of it. BTW the switch works in the Aus cars but once you turn the airbag off the light comes on in the dash cluster and even when u reactivate the airbag it stays on (even tried disconnecting the battery) i could probably get it programmed in but havnt looked into it yet.

Ahh interesting good idea there didn't know that. But definitely no laptop in face would not be good haha.
