That's simple. Any VW dealer can de-activate the side airbags via VAS.

The factory recaro's have heating elements but do not contain side airbags hence VAS/VCDS being required to disable the warning light.

I have just been through the (painful) procedure of putting Recaro's in and basically what you need is a resistor to make the car think that the seat airbag is still there. This will allow the VCDS to clear the airbag fault. If you dont do this i think that the fault will return.

They're way too expensive, but they really look great and quite comfy. Too bad they're illegal in Denmark. :(
