not true... isofix points are added as part of the deactivation kit, and i'm sure they are cheaper than that as i think it is on fixed price too which was around £400 pounds.. still dear though.. they are not much of a job but centre console and passenger seat has to come out to fit them...

I think that the deactivation kit is part of Tequipment, therefore would not be on the vehicle as standard. I think it still needs the 'manual' key switch hidden by the passenger door and is not electronically disabled by attaching a seat to th e isofix points. The bottom line though, if you haven't got the isofix mounts in the passanger seat then the deactivation probably is not installed. I recall the parts cost about 130 and the rest of the 600 is installation time.
HI,
Hopefully somebody can help.
I have a Porsche Cayman and a 6 month old baby - put the two together and according to the Porsche dealer I need to spend £600 on getting a key switch put in place to turn off the airbag.
However, having looked on the internet I have found people saying that as standard the 06 cayman comes with ISOFIX points and there is a sensor in the front seat that automatically turns the airbag when a child is in it.
Can anybody shed any light onto what the actual situation is?
Thanks
Bill

It's amazing how quickly you forget details (mine is 2.5 yrs old now) but at 6 months old are they still in rear-facing seats? Correct me if i'm wrong, but you only need to deactivate the passenger airbag if you are using a rear-facing seat. If you are using a front facing seat, especially with the seat slid as far back as it will go you should be fine with the airbag still activated. The manual for my family car only specifies to deactivate the airbag with a rear-facing seat.
