Hi everyone. My passenger seat sensor is busted, and I would like to bypass the sensor, disable the seatbelt warning, and reset the airbag code.

What all do I need for an 06 r52? Seems some of the reset tools and bypass units are listed as only for 05 and earlier. Is that true? If so, what do I need for a later "post facelift" 1st gen mini?

Thanks for the help!

 

See this thread: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...t-no-more.html

The only known ways to clear the warning are:

1. Replace the sensor mat
2. Disable the warning with NCS Expert software

Someone had success using a sensor mat emulator from a vendor in Ireland, but it didn't work for others (post #119 in the thread linked).

 

Thank you for the link! I read through the whole thread, and yeah, looks like it's:

1) Buy a USB k+dcan cable from
Ecutool. com for 30 bucks.

2) follow the instructions to make the passenger airbag act like a euro spec car (ignore seat sensor, and fire passenger airbags if seatbelt is buckled).

3) don't be an idiot and lock a baby seat backward in the front seat.

The sensor mat resistor only worked for that guy because he had an older pre-facelift model.

Cable shipping from china now. Wish me luck :D

 

did you fix it?
