Airbag deactivation

[PhilD]

I have bought a baby seat and deactivation bar from ebay ready for the new arrival. I am happy to fit the bar myself but it needs programming into the cars computer with a PST2.

Porsche want to charge an hours labour for fitting the deactivation bar and re-programming - which I think is pretty steep, it's in for a major service and 111 point check anyway. Do most of the independents have a PST2 and are they going to be happy reprogramming the passenger airbag? Wouldn't want to try and save £100 for the sake of a babies life though.....

Also anyone got any recomendations for a good Porsche independent in the North Wiltshire, Berkshire area? My last one - Porschetech in Bristol packed up last year.

I would suggest offering to give the OPC your service & 111 point check business ONLY IF they agree to turn the airbag off (they'll have it plugged in to check for faults anyway, can't imagine it'll take more than 30 seconds to change the airbag setting).
