air bag ????

Thinking about hardwiring my det in my new car . The only problem is I now have apillar airbags which gets in the way of running the wire. Does anyone know if its a problem getting the wire behind the plastic trim where the airbag rests..
Thanks

I went behind my pillar airbags when i hardwired. I just pulled the cover gently back and ran the wire behind it.

Its only like a shotgun going off on your face and you can't hear for a few min and it burns your face from the rocket fuel. I have expierenced it twice

No way you set anything off by pulling on the plastic. We now pull the plastic trim to see whats there before we cut on cars.

I'm used top having a couple of airbags but my new car has 8 I guess they worried about me going to fast.

What specific vehicle?

Some of us have specific-vehicle knowledge, and may be able to offer you additional insight.

if you want to be super safe when installing anything on a car with airbag, unhook both sides of the battery and wait at least 1 hour. What this does is that it give the capacitors in the air bag module time to drain off. Then you are good to go. You can work on anything you want. If you do this make sure that you have the radio code because some cars need it.

We are talking a top of the line Hyundai Elantra Needed cheap and good gas mileage after my last engine let go in my nissan. So far the car runs great and turns back 34mpg at 80 so i cant complain..
Thanks for the tip on unplugging the battery.

Get used to being surrounded by more airbags in new cars as government regulations are phased in.
