You can tell AFTER the bar is installed. The airbag light will behave differently after starting the car. Mostly likely, it isn't activated and you'll need to find a dealer or indie to do so. They can probably tell you ahead of time with their computers.

BTW: there's a good chance a dealer (or an indie for that matter) will want to see a child seat when they go to activate the child seat option to prove you're doing this for a legitimate reason. Why? Well you are asking them enable your turning off a safety system, which exposes them to huge potential liabilities.

Right, SRS light flashes or something when pass side airbag is deactivated. But no way to tell otherwise without the bar or the proper register in series.

Good point, that means you have to buy a Porsche childseat with a proper buckle too.

FYI, the bar uses longer mounting bolts for the front.
