Don't you think that BMW TIS should have this warning in their procedure if that is true?
I unpluged it at least 5 times already and never have to do anything with the air bag. BMW TIS shows that you need to move the steering wheel all-the-way out and down. There are 3 connectors in the back of the cluster and they have nothing to do with airbag connection.
You CAN'T mess with the airbag, while removing the cluster, even if you WANT to. Unless there is a fault in the SRS system, the airbag light only lid up on the cluster when you unplug the airbag connector itself (and you would have to un-bolt the airbag from the steering wheel in order to do that)
