The shop is Sound Solutions in Greensboro, NC on Stanley Road.

I think that it is far from you.

Did they relocate the AIRBAG LIGHT for you then? It must be modular if they did that... please tell us, this question remains unanswered in several threads!

Not sure what you are asking here - if he is using the Honda navi panel (or even probably the Metra equivalent), the relocated airbag light is built into the panel. The related connector unplugs from the existing radio trim piece and plugs into the new radio trim piece. There is sufficient cable length to reach either position. When removing the radio, you have to unplug both the airbag light and hazard buttons. Both have typical push-lock connectors (different size, so you won't confuse them). I did my F90BT installation myself.

Thanks Steve, that is what I wanted to know. I did realize this is the way it worked after I saw the Metra install instructions... thanks anyway though!

Thinking about this again, the airbag light is in a module that unscrews from the standard panel and screws into the new navi panel. It does still have a push-lock connector though. I had a problem with the Metra wiring harness that Amazon sent me, so my install was completed over two weekends. It's kind of hard to remember all of the steps...

Another heads up, you also remove the screws that hold the radio to the original trim piece and move them to the new navi trim piece to hold it onto the new DIN cage that the radio bolts to.

Still trying to identify the best possible Navi HeadUnit on the market... I have yet to find one that has glossing reviews...! The newly announced Pioneers don't seem to be much more promising than the previous generation that they replace. But this is for another thread...
