Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

18 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

The new owner of my pcar is asking which child seats are meant for 996's. Also should he use the seat in front, is there a way to immobilize the passenger airbags? Waz talking about : 996 C2 99 6sp

POST 2Original post

You should use the Porsche Tequipment child seats. There is a plug-in module for them that disables the airbag. -Paul

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks Paul, How do i get the Porsche tequipment childseat? Waz

It's not plug and play.

POST 5Original post

Porsche car seats come in two parts, the actual seat and an airbag diactivation device that needs to be installed by the dealer. THe seat has a special buckle that slips into the airbag diacivator to turn off the airbag (the seat will also work in the back as my 4 and 6yaer old will confirm). Get your first seat from a dealer, but as the kids grow get new ones from Britax. They make them for porsche and you can get the exact seat for a lot less. Just take the special buckle off the old and put on the new. A 03 C4 Cab

POST 6Original post

Yes the Britax one is EXACTLY the same except for the fabric! And you cant get replacement fabric from Porsche once it gets wear and tear!! Which sucks so I bought replecemnt fabric from Britax. I have three of these now and I just cut off the buckle and keep it in the P-car cause I dont know which seat I'll have with me at which time since the kids use thwm in my wife's Navigator also!

Here is some info. Jeff <a href="http://forum.boxa.net/index.php?act=ST&f=13&t=1662&s=" target="_blank">http://forum.boxa.net/index.php?act=ST&f=13&t=1662&s=</a>

POST 8Original post

Carnewal is the only source I know of to get the airbag de-activator for the front seat separate from the Porsche seats, and Gert has great prices on all this stuff. Make sure the seat (at least the buckle) is there when the computer is programmed for the de-activator, not a part dealers usually have around and I had to go back home and get mine to finish it. Oddly enough, it is just as easy, if not actually easier to put toddlers in and out of the child seat in the rear. Right by the door seam. Also harder to change radio stations and push in the lighter from back there!

POST 10Original post

Waz, Go to Dubai porsche showroom (AL NABOODA) they have a section for porsche Teq. and if you are intrested i have the catalog in my car for almost all the stuff they offer .

POST 11Original post

why would ever WANT to put your child in the front of your pcar? i keep mine in the back, in the seats that were meant for people their size.

POST 12Original post

Cause there are few things better than the giggle and ear to ear grin of a four-year-old sitting next to you as you go around a tight curve at high speed with the top down. With the airbag off I believe they are perfectly safe in the front seat (that should start a debate).

POST 13Original post

Wait a minute! They go on the PASSENGER seat? They let YOU drive?

POST 14Original post

Just like my little girl. In the front last week she pulled my shirtsleeve at the cuff to put my hand on the shifter for 2-3, then placed it carefully back on the wheel at 2:00! She'll be three next month, I suppose then I am going to get "try the pedal on the RIGHT, buddy."

POST 18Original post

FWIW Britax has a new "booster" seat design with large side bolsters coming soon, looks pretty good on their web site.
