There is a detailed procedure in the manual for this - you are  
upposed to disconnect the airbags "energy reserve" (actually just a  
apacitor, and I think I am using the right words here) before  
isconnecting anything, and then be sure not to turn the key on with  
he air bag disconnected or you will set an error code that needs vag- 
om to reset.  BTDT. If the battery is disconnected you should be OK.
he connector for the energy reserve is behind the drivers side  
onsole cover.

 may not be a bad idea to disconnect the battery (assuming you know  
 the radio code), but there's no reason whatsoever to wait 30  
 minutes.  You'll see the airbag wires, they are on red  
 connectors ... one wire attaching to the steering wheel, and the  
 other connector to one of the column covers.  There's not too much  
 to worry about accidentally blowing the airbag ...

 Thanks for the replies!!� A friend told me to disconnect the  
 battery and wait 30 plus minutes so I won't ha
ve a problem with the  
 air bag.� I that true on the V8's also?� I know these cars have  
 some weird features and I want to make sure there's no "back-up"  
 battery for the air bag.
