The dealer will probably charge you to hook their computer up to your car to reset the light. Your installer should have unhooked the battery in your car prior to removing the seat so that the airbag light didn't go off.

If you can find someone who owns a Durametric code reader, they can help you reset the light instead of taking it to a dealer.

A local dealer told me $86 to reset the airbag light.

If you get charged you should take the bill to the installer and ask them to cover it.

Installing something like you have warranted disconnecting the battery as a standard protocol in business.

Or, they should have quoted you X dollars more for a trip to the dealer afterwards.

Make a stink out of it and all future Porsche owners going to that shop will thank you.
