I've had the airbag warning light on in my mini for a few months now, activated by removing the front seat to replace the sat-nav unit.

After the main dealer was going to charge me £80 to reset the light, I told him to forget it.

While looking through Mini2.com, I noticed someone had got a tool for resetting the airbag light, so looked on fleabay and they are selling Carsoft software for resetting all sorts of things using a laptop.

Is this carsoft compatible with mini's? Also, when they say an interface is required, what's that? When I used the software for a Cerbera, all I needed was the laptop and a RS232 lead. Will just a RS232 to OBD2 lead work?
