Dash Clusters

Hey there guys heres a tricky one,I changed the dash cluster on my VT excetuive with one out of a berlina,the tripple screen cluster works great but one thing,air bag light is on as the Berlina has 2 air bags where mine only has one,down to Holden I go and they will reprograme it but this will cost fortune,so I asked if I just take the light out will it only cause the air bag not to work but the fella said that if the light is on for any length of time it will stop the car going into top gear,is this true? can I just take the air bag globe out and and not effect anything but the air bag :confused:

My airbag light comes on and stays on every time I drive and it has for about 3 years now because I can't be bothered getting it reset but the car still goes into top gear. Sounds like a load of crap to me.

I put a berlina triple cluster into mine too, that was over 2 years ago, my airbag light has been on ever since but I still get top gear.

I thought that all it needed was a Tech2 reconfiguration done.

they talk sh*t mate, they just wanna make money out of you...i was just installing an amp in my VT (under front seat) and theres that airbag lead, they said if i disconnect it, then ill have to get it reprogrammed for around $60-$80, i reckon its all a big revnue raiser, i mean they couldnt even give me a straight price, and everyone else i checked with said its fine to disconnect as long as the key is not in the ignition :D...w*nkers mate

It needs to be configured to suit the correct airbag system, you will need to take it to a dealer with a tech2
