passenger airbag disable

[Jaxonalden]

Durametric software does not include the load to deactivate the passenger side airbag. The dealership will charge $100 for this service.

$100?!?!?!? Is that from experience? All of the stories I have heard was that the dealer would do it for free because it is a safety thing. It would reflect very poorly on them if they try to charge you. I have the bar installed in my ’03 but have not turned it on in the computer yet. I have a few more months till I need to have it going.
$100?!?!? Hell, they only charged me $75 to turn on the OBC.

My dealer initially wanted to charge for the install and activation of the bar, but when I mentioned that PCNA had been reimbursing dealers for this work they waived the charge.

My invoice states that the work was done under warranty. Keep in mind this work was done back in 2003, so the policy may not be the same now, but it can’t to ask.

$75 sounds right for the OBC...I used my Durametric for free. I checked with my local Dealership and they want $100 and that's only if they install the bar. They will not accept the liability if it's installed incorrectly and they deactivate the bag.

I finally had the airbag deactivation bar coded by the dealer today. This dealer isn't really known for their friendly customer service and they only charged $49.95. Not too bad.
