Default Just bought a Mazda 3 - AIRBAG REPLACEMENT

Good afternoon.

Well I just bought myself a Mazda 3 2010 EU. With steering wheel on the left ( if you are sitting in the car )

The car was in a collision going 30km/h.
And both front airbags did explode and the driver site seatbelt is stuck.

Well I know how to exchange the steering wheel airbag.

But I want to get some ideas for the dashboard airbag on the passenger side.
- What would be the best way ?

- Buy a whole dash with a airbag, and then
replace everything ( seams alot of work )

- or is possible to only replace the airbag without removing the whole dash!? And the some how patch the old dash where the hole is after the airbag...And make it look like new ?

And one other thing, after replacing these 3 items, it is enough to get the old module to get reset ?

Hope somebody has helpful ideas
Best regards

You will need,

Drivers airbag,
Passengers airbag
Dashboard,
Drivers seat belt
Possibly passengers seatbelt - check this first.
New SRS (airbag) control module, programmed by Mazda to match your car. This controls, & records the deployments - Some people say it can be sent away and reset, i don't know.

I have found some company that can reset the module.
But the big question is, how do I remove the dashboard. That's gonna be the pain of all of this.

If you're mechanically minded it's not difficult, takes me about 1 to 1.5 hrs to remove the dash. Done about a dozen or so.
