Zimm,

At first glance your suggestion sounds brilliant, but fixing the condition that sets off an SRS light does not always reset the SRS light - this can only be done by somebody with an expensive scanner (like the dealer). He'll charge half an hour.

Secondly, those pads are fragile while they are in a seat that rarely gets used (based upon my W220 experience), let alone on the floor where a back seat passenger's feet might kick it.

But I do like the idea - I'd have to try it if I was in Boborann's shoes.

btw, Boborann, the pad doesn't sense weight, it communicates with the child seat via a pair of transponders that indicate the presence of, and correct orientation of, the child seat. Another one of those ideas that only makes sense to automobile designers in the black forest who drink beer at lunchtime.
