Anyone have suggestions on finding a airbag deactivation switch and car seat latch kit for my Boxster? All the online sources show NLA from Porsche. One website that listed it as being in stock promptly cancelled my order (it wasn’t). Part number is 99704480015
My 3 year old keeps asking for a ride in Dad’s new “race car”. But she’s big enough that between her and the car seat I’m not confident the airbag weight switch will prevent deployment. Guess I could load her up and just keep an eye on the light…

I wouldn't do that. Even with the chances of an accident occurring being very low, you'd never forgive yourself if something did happen and your daughter got hurt. I realize saying "No" is difficult, but sometimes the difficult thing is also the best thing you can do as a parent.

Sorry. I wasn’t clear. I mean to test before driving the car if the airbag system deactivates reliably without the manual system installed, which is what I’m trying to source.

Not judging...I've just been there, that's all. It's not fun.
Yeah, I wouldn't trust the seat sensor, from the documentation the trigger weight sounds somewhat low.
From the wiring diagram the "airbag off" switch looks pretty simple. All you'd need to do is change the connection from brown > yellow/blue to brown > orange/black to disable the airbag. If you pull off that panel I bet you'll find a connector with a jumper: it should be fairly easy to remove the jumper, wire up your own manual switch, and hide it somewhere accessible.
Wiring-wise that's exactly what the discontinued kit would do, you just wouldn't get the modified trim panel with the switch.
