Well when I put the aftermarkte stereo in the battery was disconnected. I'll disconnect the battery then put the old stereo in and hook the battery back up and see if that works.

I replaced my head unit w/o disconnecting the car battery. Luckly I was under warranty and the dealer "reset" the airbag system light. To avoid this DONOT disconnect the wires under the vent fixture. It is not necessary to disconnect it in order to reach the radio screws. If you want to you could disconnect the battery AND de-energize the airbag system(Or let the car sit for an hour or two).
 
  Unfortunately the car manufactures are not obligated to reveal computer codes to independent mechanics. So the very best of luck getting the reset procedure(I'm sure it will be very simple and quick). Hopefully everyone will know in time and through the internet. Mike

Yeah that sounds like it would work. I just haven't had time to mess with it. Hopefully it does worj though because the service specialist at the dealership said that none of the airbags will work if that light is on!

Turns out if you disconnect the battery you reset some systems including the auto up/down on our windows! The link corrects for that too.
