996 Codes - do they supercede each other?

[eabeukes]

Hello everyone

Im looking at a delightful '98 996 C2, with bucketloads of options in great nick. Having a look at the option codes, its been fitted with:
563 Side airbag / 563 Automatic air conditioner

Does the 563 code also include these?
561 Airbag, driver side only
562 Airbag, driver & passenger side

I would have thought a car with only a side airbag is a bit silly... But then one never knows on a 911 what the first owner was thinking when they spec'd!

Hopefully I will hear further on the car soon

Hmm, maybe the drivers and passengers airbags are standard fitment and the option was for side airbags? Though would've thought they were standard too?!

Good luck with the car, sounds great!

Drivers/Passenger airbags are standard fitment for UK spec cars.

POSIP (side airbags) were an additional option. (in the UK)

I have side air-bags, but not that code. That said, mine was ordered as a South African car (delivered to the UK from Stuttgart), so maybe they had them as standard?

C16
XRL
XSC
X54
236 or 238
424
425
436
490
567

So none of these list airbags - is this a facelift model? I think these had the side airbags as standard so if my assumption is correct they wouldnt have been listed.
