Thanks to anyone who can offer me some information on my 2007 R56.
I recently bought a wrecked 07 R56 at auction and rebuilt it. The seat belt pre-tensioner on the DS and the Driver and Passenger Airgags deployed. I replaced both airbags, the pre-tensioner and the crash sensors and had the module reset, and the light didn't go off.
Took it to the dealer and they said that if the airbag system trips more than three crash codes, they are un-deletable and stored forever in the computer's memory...no way to erase them.
They say the only way to "reset" the system and get the light out is to replace the whole module and have it reprogrammed by them. I'm looking at about $700 for something that normally costs $0 on any other vehicle I've rebuilt in the past.
Is there any way around this??? The tech. I am talking to is open to suggestions, he's worked for MINI awhile but doesn't know much at all about the airbag system.

I am having similer problem with my cooper S my module went bad and the only way to fix it is buy a new one and get it coded. you cant use used one they r all preprogramed and only work on one car that they r programed for so if you take all the carpet out get discount on parts and can get it to the dealer your still looking at about $700 to $800 dollars good luck mini air bag system suck
Only the dealer can program the computers its a special system that only they have i have called around and i do bodywork for living for years and know a lot of bussineses that do air bag systems and no one can bypass this its BS
