Removing A pillar?

Removing A pillar?
Do you have to disconnect the battery when removing the a pillar? (im not sure because of the airbag. ) And does the battery have to remain disconnected while it is off?
I am asking because I am planning on tapping into a wire there today and dont want an air bag to blow up in my face. lol
Thanks!

OK, I've removed the A pillar for the V1 install..
You do realize there is an air bag in there? So being careful is a must.

^ Yes, I did. Just in case, if I did something wrong. But it's a pretty simple install... just take your time.

I don't think it's a hard thing to disconnect the battery. I always do it when I tap into wires.
but I don't think there's something related to side airbag in A-pillar. the two sensors are near front and rear wheels, inflater is in C-pillar.

the actual "bag" goes from C-pillar all the way to A-pillar. in several locations it's tied down to the car so the bag won't fly in the car when it's deployed. what's shown in this picture is the end of the bag and the piece holding it down. touching it or whatever won't cause airbag to be deployed.
but again, I disconnect battery for any electrical work.

I passed the wire through the a-pillar myself for my V1 install. I would think it might make more sense to just wire the V1 into fuse box down to the left of the driver's foot. That is how I wired mine. That way you aren't messing with any wires that could void any of the warranty.
