I think that presumes the airbags are still attached. Thinking about it, I'm not sure what the upshot would be, if I remove the module, with the seatbelt pre-tensioners, as they presumably are controlled by the SRS module and I still have those intact.
Lucky you. When I stripped my Z3 I found that a previous owner had already removed the Airbag module. If the pretensions will still work then you might as well leave it in. But I'm not sure they will as surely the whole system will not work if it detects a problem with the airbags?To be honest, my battery has been disconnected for 99.9% of the last 13 months, so that isn't a problem.
So if I remove the electronic box, my pre-tensioners won't operate?
I am just thinking of space, as the module looks like it could be in the way of the new tunnel parts. I don't know as yet, but would like the vertical piece (where the heater controls and radio were) as tight to the heater matrix/ ac evaporator box as possible. If it's in the way I'll remove it as I can't be bothered to find somewhere else to put it. The car will have no airbags, no roll hoops and a solid wooden steering wheel. If it has a serious accident we are going to be maimed or dead anyway so I don't think seatbelt pre-tensioners are worth bothering with....do you?
No, I don't think it's worth bothering about. Funny, but I was playing with my seat frames today and thinking ' should I remove the tensioners' as they're redundant anyway.I am just thinking of space, as the module looks like it could be in the way of the new tunnel parts.
