Come on Porsche....

Its Porsche. You pay to play. We all know the score.

But sometimes their behavior really does burn me.

If you have a pre 2004 Boxster, the only way (supposedly) to deactivate the passenger airbag is buy a child seat kit. Their cost for the seat? $850. For a child seat!!!!!! Plus $150 for the deactivation kit, plus install. Sickening. You must have the seat or the deactivation kit does not work.

For that kind of $$$, I could have a tech disconnect the airbag, and get software to clear the code, and still afford the latch bar kit so my kid is safe.

EDIT!!!!! So it turns out that the seat does not cost even remotely that much. I called 2 other dealers nearby and they quoted me half as much. The jerks that quoted me $850 were Barrier motors in Bellevue, WA.
