ABS Vario dual Airbag SystemABS Activation unit (canister & trigger) sold separately.
Only seen the prices in my own country (Norway) so mind you everything is a bit more expensive here...
Seen the base unit for abs vario for 6500NOK (=803usd) with about 800NOK(=99usd) for the 15liter backpack add on and 1000NOK(=123usd) with the 30liter backpack.
I'm pretty sure it's damn cheaper in the US or mainland EU (Germany/France)...

So I actually have some avy gear that I've never used myself. Specifically I have an airbag unit called the ABS Vario Base Unit that I bought because I was planning on getting into backcountry this year. But, due to some extenuating circumstances in my life I won't be getting into backcountry anytime soon. At this point, I just wanna get the bag sold so I could get some cash. The base unit airbag is intended to fit with compatible backpacks, and I have one called the Powzilla 30 by Mountain Hardware. If you're at all interested in this stuff, feel free to pm me and we can talk a bit more and I can get you some actual photos of the gear.
While I agree with /u/AWW_Wolf on the rear access, I didn't have the same issues with the helmet carry. I have the Kode 42, though, so perhaps they're configured differently.
The Kode also has the option for a zip on ABS pack, so if you can get it, spend the extra $30 for the one that allows the ABS zip-on.
