Hi i want to put a child seat in the front of my BMW 520i year 2001 - nothing in the instrustions on how to do this, is it possible? the rear seat belt is twisted and not safe for child seat, i can't get inside the seat to un twist the seat belt unless i go to the garage, in the mean time i will drive with car seat in front only if i can turn off the airbags Thansk for your help
The airbags do not need to be and should not be turned off if the *child* is sitting front-facing. The danger to kids in the front seat is that a rear facing baby would be hammered into the back of the seat. A front facing child would be protected as an adult. So, before you hunt down further info ... is your kid still sitting rear facing? And is your forward facing child boosted up with an appropriately fitted lap/shoulder belt?
Airbags in and of themselves are dangerous to kids.
Hi , if you visit a dealer they will be able to let you know how much it will cost to deactivate the passenger air bag.

thanks, i am in ireland,,
hi there
The infant is in a rear facing seat (he is only 9 weeks old), the dealership were not much help saying my 2001 BMW was not computerised so they could not turn the airbag off......strange, i thought there may be an easy way I could de-activate it....thanks
Hi, depending on which country you live in , you will need a deactivation code to turn of the air bag for the front passenger seat.
My airbag and seat belt light came on at the same time. I checked the connectin on the wiring harnesses under the seats, and found un umbrella under the seat. It was touching the harness, but the connectors are good.
