MX5 and child seat - Overlord55
I want to fit a forward facing child seat in an MX5 Icon (2000W) and have been told by dealer that the car is not fitted with the transponder in passenger seat to deactivate the passenger airbag.

Any ideas on how to overcome this situation?

I don't want to part with the car unless I absolutely have to.

MX5 and child seats. I admire your pluck.

It is illegal to put children on the parcel shelf and should never be attempted.

The MX5 owners club problems forum is inferior to HJ's esteemed site in every way...

Good luck.

It shouldnt be too difficult to disable the SRS system on the car. It must be possible to either remove a fuse or relay to close the system down. It may be possible, as on VAG cars, to switch the passenger bag off while leaving the drivers bag live. Either way the dealer should be able to advise. Bear in mind that if you do disable the SRS system in toto please tell your insurers!
