Default Question about passenger airbag

Is there a passenger airbag shutoff for C5's?

I'm considering selling my Wrangler and Harley and getting a C5 but if there's no way that I could put a carseat in the front (rare occasion but as a contingency nonetheless) then I'm screwed.

Stupid question maybe but have to find out before I get serious and am let down later.

Thanks.

mid year 00' and on have the shut-offs

I have an 00' and had to add it, get it from Ken Fichtner (here) It comes with a new belt, switch and all the wiring.

Here the install.

Thanks bro.....after I posted I had the bright idea to actually search for the topic and low and behold.....it's been asked several hundred times already

With that in mind has anyone actually put a carseat in the passenger seat of their C5?? If so how does it fit?

I do, when he's not driving

As you can see, by his hand, I even added the stock light.

I use a carseat in mine fairly often now. My 5 year old has started using a booster seat, which is pretty easy to fit. snapping the belt buckle is a little more difficult than in our minivan b/c there is less room, but otherwise there are no problems.

Haven't seen any of your posts since I stopped coming around PRC :
