Once the airbag has been deactivated, you can use any seat you want.

do i have to use porsche baby seat to disable airbag?
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.

There is an airbag deactivation unit that they install under the seat, has a female buckle on it.
The porsche baby seat has the male buckle piece, and when you clip it in it deactivates the airbag. However, the buckle is pretty much a standard VW/Porsche type buckle, avail in the parts department. Once the airbag has been deactivated, you can use any seat you want. Also, the porsche seat is made by a company called Britax. Same exact seat without the porsche logo and buckle....
I used the Porsche baby seat in my Boxster. Very easy to get the kid in and out, just like any other seat (I now have it in the back of my Targa).
The deactivation bar (shown in post above) must be installed by the dealer and the car's computer must be reprogrammed for it to work. When a male buckle is plugged into it, it tells the car to turn off the passenger side airbag. You don't need the relatively expensive Porsche seat to do this as long as you have a male buckle that fits, but you must have the Porsche deactivation bar properly installed. I don't think its easy to find the deactivation bar to purchase alone but I think you can get it from Carnewal (
www.carnewal.com
), and maybe you could find it on ebay.
You should search the forum, there are several fairly recent threads that have a lot of information.
I just (today) had the deactivation kit install in my 02 c4s. If you can find a used seat it will be your best bet as Porsche has just started selling a "new" style of seat which doubled the price. They wanted $650 for a seat to hold a 20-40lb child rear facing with the deactivation kit. I was able to find the previous generation (britax roundabout w/ deactivation) new for around $300. The install is easy but you still have to have a Porsche tech program the car to deactivate the airbag.
Good luck,
James
The seat is great, and my daughter loves it. She's 8 months and has a blast up there where she can see me. My only problem is keeping my eye on the road when she's up there.
It's easy to get her in and out.
These pics are when she was only 3 months and she fills it up much more now and can really look around.
she is gorgeous but I hope she doesn't hurl like our 5 month old.
she can let go a full meal any old time. That's why she only rides in the Yukon XL and not the cayenne or boxster S.
I also like me kid up above the "impact zone"

I had the same set-up as Scott did, when I had the Boxster. It was great! Easy to put the seat in or take out, and it was great to have our cutie next to mewhile driving. As mentioned above, as long as you have the deactivation kit & a male buckle to fit, any seat should work.
With the C4S, we moved up to the next child seat, which is in the rear seat, facing forward position. Now she can yell "mommy, go faster", as I tried to explain to the nice policeman... Then she actually said to him (as he peeked in at her thru my window) "mommy was going too fast"! He laughed so hard! Got a warning -- cool guy!
