Default Airbag light with EURO CF Seats

I installed OEM EURO CF seats and now the Airbag light is on,anyone knows how to cancel this ?
Went to my dealer but they don't know.
I also need to know what to do with OEM seat belts because I have SHROTH seat belts and I dont like to have both....


Thanks

luis,

since the cup seats dont have side air bags, you need to go to your dealer and have them turn off that part of the SRS. perhaps someone on the forum who has done this, can have there SA contact your SA.

My dealer turned off the air bag light with the factory computer. They also turned off the seat belt buzzer, both in less than 10 mn.

Do a search Mooty has posted the protocal several times. this is what he posted last.
When you have the race seat or seats installed the Dealer with a PIWIS Tester (Porsche Service Tester) can turn off the buckle(s) and airbags. This can be done on all of the 987, 997 and Cayman models. The change is done under the coding section."
Scott Slauson - PCA WebSite - 3/8/2006
As many of you know, when you install aftermarket seats (or even Porsche's GT3 seats) you'll end up with an air bag error when you start the car. You will also get an AWS (Automatic Weight Sensor) fault (you don't seen any errors but the Passenger Seat Airbag Off light in the center console lights up).
Turns out it is a trivial task for your Porsche dealer to set some ECU options to deal with all these faults. All you need to do is ask them to use their diagnostic computer to program the following options:
• Driver Thorax Airbag : No
• Passenger Thorax Airbag : No
• Driver Seatbelt Buckle: No
• Passenger Seatbelt Buckle: No
• AWS : No
No more error codes

Air Bag

Program car to ignore seat belt latches, thorax airbags and AWS.
• From the main PIWIS menu
• Select POSIP
• Select CODING
• Scroll down the list to find entries for driver and passenger thorax airbags and turn them to off/no.
• Scroll down to find entries for AWS and driver and passenger seat belt buckles. Turn all

Any dealer with a PIWIS can do it in about 2 to 3 minutes.
