Passenger Airbag Deactivation

Does anyone know how I can deactivate the passenger airbag on my Z4. Unfortunately mine did not have the optional key deactivation switch fitted so there is no normal way to turn the airbags off. :(

I seem to remember seeing an old thread mentioning that if you disconnect the electrics to the seats (mine has fully elecy seats, but not heated) then the passenger airbags will deactivate.

Can anyone have any offer any advice?
 
Hah.. welcome to the forum and love the avatar!

You might be right with the seat electric thing but I guess it depends why you wanna do it.

If you look at Realoem you can actually retrofit the switch to deactivate, think it's only about £20 for the kit and it's a little slicker. Have a dig (I posted it on this forum before too) and if you still can't find I'll look :)
 
Hi and welcome, I believe that if you disconnect the seat it will thorugh up an airbag light, I say this because a few member including CJ10Jeeper had this issue when they disconnected the door airbags to carry out work and connected the battery without plugging the airbag back in.

Best bet is the retrofit kit, I have a italian post somwhere which shows how it's done.
 
thanks guys... I found the part/kit on Realoem but, excuse my ignorance but do I make a note of the part number and go to my dealer to purchased or is there a way I can purchase online?

If anyone could offer some fitting advice/experience that would be great!
 
yep go to dealer.

its been said recently that cooper bmw have a page somewhere you can check parts prices but you'll still have to buy by phoning...

you might just want to ring your dealer first so it's there next time you go.
