I've tried...

...to buy the f ing deactivation kit but 10 weeks after I ordered it, after repeatedly asking the dealership when it would be delivered, I was told that "Porsche has decided to get out of the car seat business." The dealership then went on to tell me that there are no more seats available and that I'm basically screwed. I've even resorted to threatening the dealership with litigation to get the darned airbags deactivated. Thanks to Jim, however, I have now applied for an on/off switch through the NHTSB.

By the way, the NHTSB has NOT definitively found that deactivating the airbags is necessary for children between the ages of 1 and 12. It has basically found that it might be a good idea.

So, the bottom line is that I'm not trying to save a few bucks! The safety of my children is priceless, but Porsche's monopoly on the deactivation kit, and its unavailability, has made me a bit desperate.
