    Never used one of those, but it might be OK - you need the 2x2 cable they mention. It attaches to the black and white 2-pin OBD connectors in yer fusebox.

    Thats a general purpose code-reader - you need to get into GROUP 15 for the Airbag then follow dialog to view and clear any stored alarms.

    Best practise is to be OUTSIDE of the car when doing any OBD on the Airbag system. Just in case... VAGCOM used to have a bug with some Skodas that would trigger the airbag during certain operations. Scarey biscuits

        I've bought one of these as it can easily cancel the codes.

        Where do I plug it in btw?
        Just had a go with this gadget and can report that it doesn't work. Time for plan B

          There must be someone on the forum close to you with VAGCOM
