    That is going to have to go to the dealer or to a BMW/MINI shop that has access to the factory ECU and Body Control programming.

    Where are you located, we can possibly point you to a local shop.

    Take it to the dealer and have them reset it. Act like it just came on for on reason :rolleyes: Do not tell them you did it unless you have money in you pocket that you want to give away. It's a safety issue and under warranty.

    They will also check to see if its part of the AirBag recall.

    FYI - Always disconnect the battery when working on anything airbag related and do not have the key in the "on" position. (If you have a key and not a fob)

    I'd call some of the independent BMW / MINI shops then. See if any have the tool. I'd imagine someone will.
