Re: Airbag light on - Have you been affected? (UK)
Just a follow up to my previous, the air bag light was sorted no problem but I now have a passenger seat belt warning light on with seat unoccupied. Ended up making a dummy seat clip for when I'm on my own, was either that or always have the seat let clip in place. Can't be a**ed to take it in again.

Re: Airbag light on - Have you been affected? (UK)
During the test drive in the 3.0 auto I'm buying the airbag light came on. I'd been playing with the passenger seat adjustment quite a bit in the showroom beforehand, and the dealer thought it was because of that.
He's putting a years MOT on it so it would have needed to get fixed for that. Anyway, he's assured me that if it continues to be a problem after I've bought the car he'll look at it again

Re: Airbag light on - Have you been affected? (UK)
My airbag light came on couple weeks ago. Today local dealer checked fault codes (under voltage, suprice, suprice) and reset light. Drove back home and got back in, light was back on
My dealer told me that there might be a problem with CAN bus. They recommended me to go to BMW and update all control system units ?! Has anyone heard that before?
Easiest way to fix this? I'm planning to sell my Z after this problem is sorted.
Cheers from Finland!

Re: Airbag light on - Have you been affected? (UK)
MIne came on a couple of weeks ago after I'd been moving the seats around to vac out the car. One trip to my indy and £20 lighter, the light has gone out and (so far) stayed out. The fault was flagging up as the passenger occupancy mat, so perhaps I have a slightly dodgy connection under the seat somewhere - time will tell....

The airbag light turns on yesterday in my Zed.
what do you think about that solution?

I think buy this bypass... If it works.

Re: Airbag light on - Have you been affected? (UK)
I have just done this on my 3.0si with m sport seats. Its not as easy as described. The correct emulator is £31 and you need to cut the grey cable under the seat and attach it to the emulator as their is no connection. The seat belt bypass is also different it says cut the wires and attach the resistor but this causea the airbag light to come on. So i left the wires connected and attached the resistor to it aswell. This has cured it. If you want a more detailed explanation and a link to the emulator give me a pm
