Default I have a question for Petrol Dave or other European-based RS4 owners.

Do you know if the Euro RS4s have the passenger seat occupancy sensor for the airbags, like the US cars do? Apparently Canadian regs don't require this, which just has me wondering if European models have it.

I know that the US didn't get the more aggressive RS4 Recaro due to lack of side airbags, but I've always assumed that they would be plug and play if someone did import them. Without a defeat mechanism for that occupancy sensor, however, they would be useless.

Thanks in advance.

Default My RS4 doesn't have the passenger seat occupancy sensor ...

... much to my annoyance.

I would like to enable the (Euro) seat belt alarm for the passenger seat but I can't due to the lack of a sensor.

Default Okay, thanks.

So it seems that putting those sport seats in a US car is going to be a real chore. Probably would have to take the occupancy bladder out of stock seats or something along those lines.

Thanks for the response!
