airbagonoff dot com switch

I'm in the market for a 2 seater convertible.... Got my eye on around 5yr old boxsters or 3-4 yr old S2000's.

I'm researching the airbag deactivation (or lack thereof) with the Boxster.

I've contacted the above company and they said that their switch works with the Boxster. Has anyone had experience with this?

I'm a DIY kinda guy, and kinda peeved that the Pcar may have (likely) an airbag program that has to be turned off by proprietary software....

The switch is about $160US, and will include installation instructions.

I have a 6yr old in the 45lb weight range, and a 3.5yr old that will soon graduate to a booster seat.... Canadian law requires a booster to 8yrs old or 80lbs whichever comes 1st.

I think even with the switch you will need to make a programming change with a PST2 or PIWIS tester.

I'm pretty sure about that, 986 (bar) and 987 (key) as well.
