I found a bar on ebay and had the dealer install and activate it. I have a 6 year old son and he does not require a child seat but is still too small for the force of the air bag. So I did a lot of research and found a forum post that said all you have to do is after the bar is activated just find something thin that will fit into the seat belt plug (I am using a very thin long allen wrench) and push down till you hear it click and it will lock in place just like if you plugged in a child seat. All you have to do to unlock it for adult passengers is hit the red button on the seat belt plug and unlock it. It works perfectly, my air bag light blinks for a few seconds to let me know it is not activated when I start the car.
