Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I'll look in the manual for you and post back later. I *think* there's a lead that comes out of the Porsche Child Seat which plugs into something to switch off the airbag. If you've got a young 'un shouldn't you be considering a 996 - for the rear seats? Just a thought... I know I wouldn't buy a car without the safety systems that should come as standard.....I wouldn't consider deleting the airbag even if Porsche would do it if I were you. Why not just give in and buy their seat. In the scheme of things it can't be that much money? >> Edited by Don on Sunday 1st December 09:31

Thanks, 996 is out of my budget, anyway the back seats look too small to fit a rear facing baby seat in. I agree buying a porsche seat is an option, but I already have a perfectly good seat (used in another car) with a clip in/out action that also fits a buggy, I dont really want another seat cluttering the flat up. I'll probably only use it once a fortnight anyway. It would be easier I had a key slot to disable the airbag, Ive seen this on some cars, or has it been made illegal. I wonder if I could avoid buying the seat, but just get a porsce dealer / specialist to fit the buckle thing so I could disable the airbag whenever I wish. Anyone know how much the seat / fitting cost, can I get the buckle thing fitted when I get a new car in April without buying the seat, I can't find pricing on the porsche web site, or in my options list

Marky, ask the folks on Porsche Pete's Boxter Board - www.986board.com/board/986board.htm - someone is bound to know. Cheers. Mike.

Does anyone know how to disable the passenger airbag on a boxster (new baby and all that), or will I have to resort to some overpriced "porsche child safety management system". I am replacing my boxster next april, can I just order it "delete passenger airbag" will this bugger up the residual value in 2 or 3 years. mark
