Air bag wlo

[glenjhumberstone]

Hi everyone. I fitted my dash cam today and used a nextbase hardwire kit and now i have the air bag warning on my dash. Any one know how to clear it ? Can it be done without diagnostics tool/vagcom?

I'm no expert but based on what I've read on VAG forums over the years.......I think you'll need VCDS to get a printout of the fault, it may be a genuine fault unrelated to the dashcam fitting, VCDS will give the date, time and mileage at the time the fault occurred which may help in deciding if its related or not. If after clearing it returns immediately then something related to the fitting is probably the cause. How have you obtained a live feed for the Nextbase camera? If you are using the USB or 12v power outlet for power it should be OK but if you've spliced into the wiring or plugged into a spare connection on the fusebox then it will require the assistance of VCDS and someone with the expertise to correctly wire it so that the CANBUS doesn't object.

Where did you take the feed from

 

when I fitted mine  to my 15 plate Roomster I piggybacked onto the rear wiper live feed and earthed at the fusebox

Piggy backed the electtic windows fuse which is next to the air bag fuse

Is it possible you dislodged the fuse and upon switching ign on it has blown the fuse ?? 

 

Or is the fuse not in fully ??

Checked the fuses and everything is all ok. I will try and disconnect the battery to see if it will reset the wlo
