We are doubling threads ... please look HERE: http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/458-italia-488/490851-child-safety-seat.html You can see how and what there .... No, it is a universal standard ... So also for Porsche and now ... our cars too
I'm not sure about the 488, but as long as Ferrari is still using the baby smart system then any of the sensors will work.
Pitty to report to you that the AKSE of Mecedes Benz is not working in my 458 ! You can see the check of the ECUs if the airbag is in working order (top foto). It shows no change in the system when my (in the Benz perfect working) AKSE is placed on the seat like a childs seat. Anyone else have a working system ? ?

melvok, when you put the seat in the orange light at the roof doesn't go on? as soon as I put my MB seat in place the airbag light goes on. haven't paid attention to the dash but I can try it if you like. I use the MB seat
I would like to know where that orange light is please .... only then can I see that Have a photo please ?
yes in the US there is a passenger air bag light where you put the A what kind of car do you have? my 458 has the same button as the FF I'm pretty sure
I'm getting a 488 spider and the manual available on the owner's site specifically prohibits children in the car. Thoughts?
I use the Mercedes Benz baby smart car seat it works fine. I used it in my SL65 for about 4 years with no issues or ticket. Before I even attempted to put my daughter in the passenger I made sure to check with both the service and sales manager also my sales rep about putting my son in a 2 seat convertible, using the baby smart Mercedes car seat in the passenger seat. They specifically told me that the car seat was made for front passenger car seats. The car seat laches onto the carbon fiber racing seats perfectly 100% perfect fit, And yes it turns of the air bag in the 458 Italia. I have had cops drive by look over and never had a problem. Picture below and link to a used one for 100.00 below hope it helps. My son loves being my passenger hahaha. http://www.benzworld.org/forums/sale-wanted-trade-giveaway/2630866-fs-mb-babysmart-car-seat-100-a.html#/forumsite/20548/topics/2630866?page=1 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I'll take a photo when I get back home for you with the light on and off with the car seat if you need Mel?
Wow guess that means either you can't turn it off or there's no passenger air bag? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
The airbag is there alright (see the red light) Simply cannot switch it off in the EU version. Bad luck for my daughter ... cannnot pick up her child ...
Picking up on a old thread here but I guess the conclusion for us in EU is that we need to convince our delar / tech to disable the pass airbag as this seems to be the only way?
