Only just seen this sorry. Not come across anyone on the Xdrivers forum who has used such, but then as an airbag fault now results in the car failing it's annual fitness check (MOT) it may be that no one would use one.
Without an MOT the driver is uninsurable on the road and if caught on road by one of the thousands of cameras that automatically check MOT, insurance and road tax status, the driver faces losing the car with the threat of it being crushed!

Bad idea to bypass anything in the airbag system. Systems are designed to save lives. Why cut corners*on passenger safety? Maybe find a cheap short cut somewhere else on the vehicle.

The bypass does bypass the air bag. It bypasses the weight seat occupancy sensor and fools the system into thinking someone is in the seat. In this case the air bag will always go off.

I use them on one of our cars - E46 325. Works well - but as above - by passes the seat mat sensor - so the car thinks there is always a passenger - so if an impact, the passenger airbag will always deploy even if no occupant. Obviously need to be careful when selling on/baby seats used in the front...
