Default 981 Airbags and Durametric Pro

Looking through the Durametric Pro options, I'm not convinced that I can reset an Airbag light or even disable it. I looked at the chart for 981 on their website. Looks like I may be able to clear the error/light. Not sure.
Looks like there are intuitive commands for the 987 when I open the older Boxster/Cayman. 981....not so much.
I want to pull my seat out and install the race seat. I suppose I can add the resistor inline like I did to my 987 before I got the Durametric.

anyone with Durametric experience?

I hear for 981s you have to disable the airbag warning light when the seat with airbag is still installed. That is how the gt4 club sports do it. Might need to do it through Piwis. Resistors aren't going to do it.

Thanks, I did the swap yesterday. Didn't try to put the resistor in. Couldn't find a way to disable in Durametric prior to removal. The Dura Pro is almost useless with the newer cars.

Quick drive this morning with the light on. Didn't even notice it. The tape might not be necessary. I don't particularly enjoy climbing in and out, but it sure is nice to focus on steering and not holding on!

The interesting part will be after I swap back, can I reset the light....
