Anyone know how to turn off the passenger side airbag?
Keen to be able to fit a child seat occasionally, but see no advice on doing so on an Aero.
Written to factory and Aero Racing but had no feedback...

Investigated this last year for an aero supersports, obviously official advice is to never carry infants in the car.
I remove the fuse for the airbag system - affects both.

Not looking to install a rear facing seat or anything like that.
Is that official advice?
If so what is it based on - just the airbag setup or something else?

Just revisiting this thread. Has anyone found a better solution? Could an isolator switch be the way forward?

Handbook advice is clear. Having looked at the space with a front facing seat mounted, even with airbag off it didn't look safe to me, not enough front or side room for my liking.

I recommend either an Aston Rapide S or Ferrari FF or Bently brooklands as alternatives...

Aston I think is quite pretty as far as super saloons go?
Aston shape is old sure but its not a Panamera!

I'll test the seat tomorrow. The nipper might have to wait to get a ride in the SS.
