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 smile

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?
What codes do you have lited for airbags? By the sounds of it, mandatory options (driver and passenger airbags in C16 cars) are not listed, only specific extra's are

my codes are
C16 XRL XSC X54 236 or 238 424 425 436 490 567 650 689 695 936 981 983 09991
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.
