i shouted victory to early getting the airbag light now because of the thorax airbags

looking into the ecu with my foxwell both are disabled, but they are still throwing the incorrect coding

i tried coding them in but then foxwell wants me to set a date or something that results in a "invalid key : 80"

For US cars, if going back to the Sofas remember to code the thorax airbags and occupancy sensors (AWS) back to ON. The OP appears to have the Club Sport optioned GT3 which has padded door cards intended help buffer the fixed back GT3 buckets. This is b/c the euro buckets don't have side airbags built-in. Not sure about the ROW Sofas, but US Sofas have side airbags along the thorax that will need to be turned back on to work best with US door cards.

got it fixed, foxwell didn't like any dates older than 2021 to code in the thorax airbags

so i set it to 20200301 as date code & voila all is good now, no more airbag lights

Would you mind posting which Foxwell and the menu breadcrumbs used to do make the coding changes? There was another similar thread where poster had Foxwell and could not get it to stick. You details will be great for knowledge sharing.
