Does anyone know how to clear the air bag trouble code when the light shows up in the display between the Tach and speddometer?

You need a PC and the BMW software to reset the airbag
Every time U unplug a airbag it has to be reset by the computer.

Someone on forum here mentioned that it can be done but never heard from him.
CarSoft would do the trick.

Thanks for the tip. I just checked "Car Soft's website and they only have BMW to 2005.

If that's the case, dealer is the only way to go. I believe no one can erase new airbag code without going to dealer
