Help before she kills me!!!!
Discussion
I have taken the stereo out of the car to see what connections there are. Golf edition 30 08 plate. I have just turned the ignition on and it says air bag fault, we are supposed to be going away in the car, can some one help as my other half will not be happy, long story but just getting her in a car is bad enough, ( had an accident witch was not her fault, long story) any suggestion would be great. Thank you all.

Use more paragraphs.HTH
I don't work with airbag ECU's, but it's worth trying the usual trick - remove whatever was causing the fault (ie make sure everything is plugged back in / check connections), then put the car through three sleep cycles. To do this, take the car upto the highest ignition mode (ie key all the way round / everything on, but to no need to crank the engine), then key off, and then let it go fully to sleep ( so key out, locked, leave a while so everything goes off). If the car has an electric handbrake that's an easy way to tell the car's gone to sleep - the red light on the switch (that shows the EPB is applied) will go out after a while when the CAN bus goes to sleep. repeat three times, and hopefully the fault will become historic and the light will go out.
Alternatively, there maybe a hidden way to force a fault clear on the Golf without using the OBD - such as holding the trip reset during an ignition cycle. Do a google.

Had this fitting a parrot to a SEAT. Had to take it to the dealer to get the code cleared. My ELM usb wouldn't connect to the airbag module. It's because the airbag off light is in the radio and it doesn't like it when it's disconnected and you turn te ignition on. It will not clear on its own ours wouldn't anyway. Typical VAG rubbish.
