The cost of this software removal service is £91.67 + VAT.BMW E31 E32 E34 E36 E38 E39 E46 E60 E61 E65 This process can be carried out on the following BMW’s. In the event of an accident all of the vehicles airbags will be deployed, regardless of how many occupants are present. Our process does not trick the airbag control module, it permanently disables the sensor. We simply reprogramme the module, removing all communication to the seat occupancy sensor. We don’t fit chips or modules that can fail. Rather than replacing the seat occupancy sensor, we can disconnect and recode the vehicles airbag control unit to disable the seat occupancy sensor. There is also no proof of this repair method working in the event of an accident. We have seen various chips and modules being sold online to trick the airbag module into thinking the seat occupancy sensor is working correctly, these are however just over priced and nicely presented resistors. This is obviously quite a costly repair as the leather and foam requires removing from the seat frame to access the faulty sensor mat. Up to now a replacement seat occupancy sensor mat has been the only method of repair.

Now this is an issue… If an airbag light is illuminated none of airbags will detonate in the event of impact.Īn airbag warning light indicates a fault on the airbag system. When the sensor mat fails the vehicle’s airbag warning light illuminates indicating a fault and shutting the whole system down. Sadly, over time the seat occupancy sensor mat starts to fail as it carries the full weight of a passenger. Pictured below is a seat occupancy sensor removed from a vehicles seat: Utilising a passenger seat occupancy sensor cuts the cost of repair as only required airbags are detonated in the event of an accident. Obviously with seat occupancy sensors operating correctly and with no passenger present in the vehicle at time of impact, only the drivers airbags would deploy. Seat occupancy sensor mats are used to detect if a passenger is present and occupying a seat in the vehicle. This system is designed to only deploy the required airbags in the event of an accident.
