My Airbag light is now on. Battery was disconnected all the time.

Ohoh... Next problem.

The side airbag connector is not connected properly. Take a look again. The issue here is that side airbag connector was designed in a way that it's hard to tell if it's properly connected or not.

Thanks. To my shame I have to say, that I did it properly but in my fear I saw the handbrake warning as the airbag warning.
After a few hours I reassembled the car again and there?s no airbag warning at all.

Luck.

... Either use your hands, a plastic wedge, or a screwdriver wrapped in a cloth to get underneath the door panel in order to pull toward yourself and pop all of the clips holding the door in place...

I just wanted to give you a picture of what I used to get the door-panels out of the clips:

I created a small wedge made of wood - it's perfectly easy with it!
No airbag lights are on, if you previously disconnected the battery.

Beside this, I can update my issue with the speakers: I now was also able to fit my aftermarket speakers (ground zero gzrc10) to the door-panels without any problems. My garage was just unable...
