I have a reset tool, and live in Telford...

I am sure you have read the disadvantages in the advert, and this is your choice,

but the advert does not state that


your passenger will not be protected by the airbag as it will not deploy, even with the airbag light showing system OK......

I have an element of 'M-styling' on my car, If that's a good enough reason for the manufacturers to adorn a 320 with the M badge, then its certainly a good enough reason for me..

i have taken on your comments and fitting this bypass is an "if and when i fit it".
if i do fit it i would appreciate the use of your reset tool, i have had the seat looked at by the guys at autotech performance who look after the mechanicals for me http://www.autotechperformance.co.uk/
they've qouted £160 + for the supply & fit of a new occupancy mat.

on a simlar note i'm some times the passenger in my brother in law's 1963 mgb roadster ( no airbags no seatbelts) now that is frightening but also makes us grin :) .
