BMW car - resetting airbag light in Wellington

[Eddieb]

Are there any board members in Wellington that could assist in resetting the airbag warning dash light on a BMW E39 without having to pay a stealership lots of dosh to do it?

My passenger side seat mat died and I've jumpered the mat connection to fool the computer but apparently the computer needs resetting with a special tool to make the dash light go out.

Thanks, just had a look and according to the description it only does the Oil and Service lights? I specifically need to reset the airbag warning light.

Any garage with a decent scantool should be able to do it for you. Ring around a few.

there is a BMW service guy down near TSS(13 Wakefield St) and Page European(Home St of Kent Terrace) will do it,prolly cheaper than the actual dealer.

thats a good thing.For instance my 1990 535 would warn me when a tailight or headlight or brake light was out.
