I have one in my '01 that someone is interestred in buying. Removing it looks straightforward enough, but will there be any issues just unplugging the connectors, unbolting it & putting new bolts on the front seat rails?

Nope, not that easy. Well... okay, removing it *is* that easy. However, you'll need to have a PST or PIWIS to turn off the child seat occupancy. Otherwise, your airbag fault lamp will illuminate.

Also, trade bolts with the person you're selling your bar to. The bolts for the bar is just a bit longer.

That's what we did when I bought the bar off another person. They sent me the bar and longer bolts and I sent them my shorter bolts. The bolts crossed each other in the mail.

Nope, I was saddened to find this out myself. Costed me $50 at the dealer for them to activate it. I've read in another thread, or another forum, that Porsche will sometimes do it for free, to activate it. But no one has ever said if Porsche will deactivate it for free.

Great. Does any member in the Lincoln, Roseville/Rocklin, Auburn, CA area have a PWIS or PST? I'm sure the local dealer will charge me more than the bar is worth to do this but I would gladly contribute to your wallet for 5 min of programming :D
