There is a weight sensor or something like that in each seat; the OFRM shows it

that;s what i am afraid of... esp. when you start off for work early in the morning

Yes

Check my picture post....I was the only occupant and my bag didn't go off but the pass side did

I thought heated seat sensors are only in the rear.

I believe the deployment of the airbags are tied to the use of the seat belt
 

As RafRaf said, he was the only occupant and his airbag did not deploy. My assumption is that he was wearing his seatbelt. I believe that the car assesses the severity of impact and if it knows the seat belt is buckled, it factors in the effectivness of that before it decides to deploy the airbag or not.

Where seatbelts are not fastened, it has no clue, so the car errs on the side of caution and deploys the airbag.

cars are so smart now! :) I always buckle up...

Yeah, that's exactly it!
 

I know I'd read something about the B6 "knowing" if it should or should not deploy the airbags durring a collision. And know I remeber that, among about a million other inputs, one of the main inputs is a seatbelt useage sensor. Also coming into play are sensors detecting where the car has been hit as well as how hard and (believe it or not) whether or not the doors are locked.

Actually, that's in the manual, but I don't have it in front of me right now
