The forums will be offline for maintenance on Friday 15th November at 10pm for up to an hour. Thank you for your patience.
only legal way is to have the dealer put a resister in and they register it with seat.You then have to sign a disclaimer saying you wanted this done.
if you take out the bulb how do you know when the other ones fail,i thought a light on ment that no air bags will go off??

hehe... its for the possibility of putting a baby seat in the front, as the chuffin ibizas have NOOOO leg room in the back so the base for our child seat means the seat has to go way forward. grrr.thanks for the info didgy. that sounds expensive if its dealer based.

Pull a plug.... as stated - if you want the others to work, put the right value resistor across it (v easy to do)
Clearly not worth £115 to o it, there's no reason why SEAT have to log it, or why disconnecting it is illegal
To put a child in a rear facing baby seat in the front seat of a car with passenger airbags will be an illegal act from September. http://www.childcarseats.org.uk/law/fromseptember06.htm
That said, allowing a passenger to sit in the front seat of a care with the passenger airbag disabled will invalidate your insurance, unless you have already told them. This is why SEAT want to log it, so they don't get sued by the insurance company.
If the airbag system has logged a fault (and lit the light) it may decide to stop working - there are a number of types of airbag controller which turn themselves off in response to a fault. And that will also get you into trouble with your insurance company.

theothersimon - "To put a child in a rear facing baby seat in the front seat of a car with passenger airbags will be an illegal act from September"
so is it illegal if the airbag has been disconnected though?
