My car (2000 986 2.7) threw an airbag warning light a few weeks back. I've ordered a new airbag as Porsche read the code as the passenger door airbag and all the wiring to the airbag itself seems fine. I was going to purchase an icarsoft i960 to reset the light as it's advertised as being capable, however YouTube videos suggest otherwise so I need something else to reset the light. Is durametric the only other option? I don't really want to drop £400 just to reset the light and taking it back to the dealer isn't really an option as I may need to reset multiple times trying different fixes, for example although it seems unlikely, I installed depo led rear lights and then the code came on so I do wonder if these somehow caused the issue. So may need to swap them back too etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
