Air bag recall? Please refresh my memory.

[Bernie Benz]

Thanks, Ed.

That may be what happened. Battery went very low, wouldn¹t start while I was
playing with the head unit replacement. But I¹ve never had this problem with
my 200. Probably need to use a Vag-Com to reset the control unit. Does
anyone have any idea as to how to do that?
