Great point, we manufacture security covers to thwart thieves and unsvory onlookers!

And they match the leather color!

If you take the active headrests out of the car it leaves the Airbag removed light on on your dash.

Only if you start the car. And the dealer can errase the warning very easy.

So my question is to you,

Do you think the active headrest are now disabled becasue you put a dvd in the car. I know the dealers know how to trick the ECU (Brain) into thinking the headrests are in and the active headrest airbag is functional, but for piece of mind, that doesn't mean the active headrest safety feature is still active.

Although I definitely see the need for DVD players in the back, please be extra careful my friend. If the dealer turned off that light I would be willing to bet the feature is disabled.

I would readdress that concern with the dealer as soon as you can.

Have a SAFE and fantastic weekend and thanks for the info!

So it all works :thumbup:
