Hi, i've just upgraded my interior to leather, everything ok but now after 3 days the airbag light came out .. what might be the problem ?
Also the ABS and DSC lights are on, i bought the car with the errors ..

youll need to get the codes read for sure could be quite a few problems
occupancy sensor, pretensioners...

abs and dsc together = something defective with dsc
could just been the steering sensor is out of alignment
again needs codes read to find out whats wrong.

either a dealer or indy with autologic should be able to help, if youre not near a member wholl do you a code read

which software ?

you can get a standalone srs cable like a B800
depending on how quickly you want it and how much you want to spend
you can get from amazon in a few days or china (dealextreme) in a few weeks


or the software like you mention, pasoft, car soft, inpa
make sure you gone with a suitable connection for your car as many are for obd2 cables under the steering wheel
im not sure if yours has that or a round one 20pin under the hood
though many come with adapters

I have the 20pin under the hood, the diagnostic cable has a conversion to usb aswell so i can connect it to my laptop, it runs on inpa.
Under the steering wheel i have the same 20pin socket ?? i don't know for sure where it's hiding ..
