Please remove

Hello X-guys,
I’m about to start the replacement f the airbag module.
I’m trying to find out which module to buy.
I have a module here and all the part numbers and software
Numbers match. Only thing I’m nervous about is the
date. It’s 13 months younger than my 4.6
There is a slew of removal to get at this thing. I don’t want
To do this twice. How do I put the correct module in the first time.
I do have a Schwaben (Foxwell) code reader that Is 2 way. I think
I can clear the errors and get it going.
I really don’t know what I’m doing here.

The same airbag module on E53 4/2001 - 9/2005. IIRC E53 had rear side airbags as additional option A261. So that feature can be the only thing possible needing coding after module installation depending on the equipment on both vehicles.

I found a company here in the area that specializes in rebuilding airbag modules.
Chat w the technician today. He sees that problem all the time. Send it in.
About 100 dollars be back in the car in 3 days.
Easy breezy.
