Default Airbag off switch

Maybe this belongs in the electronics section, but I was wondering if anyone knows where to find passenger side airbag switch??

Thanks, kiza

It can be done on pre 06 S2000's. I don't have a link to the thread. If I remember correctly you have to get the permission of NTSB or NHTSA or something. The dealer can do it. I have seen the pictures of the warning light installed on the lower right corner of the passenger dash, and the key switch installed in the forward area of the secret compartment.

EDIT: you can see the warning light in a couple pics on the first page of this thread:

First you need to fill out the NHTSA form (go to their website) and then contact Honda customer service and set-up an appointment with a dealer willing to install the kit. This is the hard part. Many dealers simply will not do the install.

I'm in the process myself. Quite a PITA.

Thanks guys!

Don't have time right now to read all the pages now but will def. look at it tomorrow!

That NHTSA stuff does not look appealing at all, but we'll see, thanks again!

Don't know your model year but, 06's have a sensor in the seat that disengages the passenger airbag if there is not enough weight on the seat.

The entire process is actually fairly simple but takes a lot of time to work through. I think I managed mine in about 6 months. The NHTSA part is quick. Finding a dealer is slow. Honda's customer care branch finds the dealer for you so there's no work involved on your end. Waiting for the phone call of who is willing to do it is the hard part. I asked them to look for willing dealers in Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, and Oklahoma. Several weeks later they responded that nobody would do it in those areas so we expanded to try Colorado, Illinois, Texas and just about everywhere else. Finally Burt Kuni Honda of Denver stepped up. If it weren't a 20 hour round trip out there I would be a lifetime customer to them for the excellent job they did and their incredible facilities.
My son got his first top down ride the other morning and couldn't quit smiling.
