I'm not sure what all is involved in replacing that airbag, but if they have to pull the dash out frankly I'd rather just disable the airbag and not worry about it rather than risk some dealership breaking my boost gauges and all the other custom stuff I've done to my dash. I know there used to be a device on MI that could disable the airbag and it seems like the passenger seatbelt warning as well. Since MI isn't around anymore, is there another source for these? Some instructions to DIY one anywhere?

Thanks guys.

That would be the occupant classification sensor bypass module that I developed and sold through them. It allows you to have a switch to choose to arm or disarm the passenger airbag. I developed it for various Toyota vehicles to allow people to run race seats and still have the airbag system stay happy.

Knowing you made it, and not some fly by night third party company, does make me feel better about it, but I'd still rather get the pos airbag out of my car.

Out of curiosity, are you still making/selling that module?
