Hi RodyBMW
The answer to the airbag light going on was that during testing the prototype wiring loom in Kigerka's car, we found that the wiring diagrams from the WDS system was not entirely consistent and therefore at one point, I had to assume a particular orientation of pin configuration - which turned out to be wrong.
In the process, the airbag light was triggered and required a dealer reset.
However, now the prototyping has been done, this no longer happens - Thank God!
FYI, and Kigerka has a printout to prove it, there is a discrepancy in the wiring diagrams for the wire colour coding within the Steering Wheel circuits. It took us several hours of multimeter work to figure out which diagram was correct. The answer - there was no one diagram that was 100% correct!
Anyway, that's the story behind the airbag light...
All the Best

NB. The M5 shift levers in the UK are now ? 102.98 each + Tax.

Yeah, what a mess. It is figured out now and life is good. It is now a simple easy install for anyone who wants to do it. I was amzed at the simplicity of it after Hobi makes the harness for it.
