If that is in fact the case, the front passenger seat would no longer be safe for a small child in a child restraint system.

I also believe that the seat belt tensioner is activated as long as the seat belt is fastened. Of course, all of this is speculative as the US MRS system differs from the rest of the world due to NHTSA regulations making it difficult to determine the exact functionality without a crash test dummy...caveat emptor!

You're always coming across as the most knowledgeable when it comes to coding 808AWD325xi I just have to say thank you, again. You seem to know the most out of anyone on this board. Do you provide coding remotely? If so, what do you charge?
