It doesn't much matter where in the car it is as long as it can detect severe deceleration (as in hitting another object at a high rate of speed). In my opinion its better that it is put where it is. if it was at the front of the vehicle, the impact could kill the sensor and the airbag might not go off. OUCH!! I had a '97 Jetta before I got my V'gon, and I saw the device you speak of. Respond to this address or Vgonman@aol.com Sean B. ?f90 V?fgon, ?gHappy Bus?h http://home.earthlink.net/~vgonman |
