Just bought this kit and will be installing today, thank you for the easy to follow video

Followed these instructions, brilliant much easier to undo the seat to get access to the wiring

Kit arrived, just installed and is working fine. There are no need clearing codes, thanks!

Thanks, thats very helpful. I bought a kit years ago and didnt know where to start. I think I'll give it a shot.

Do you need to reassemble the two yellow connectors?

Hi please help, I’m unsure of the last part of the fitment. After I have inserted the red and black wire for the seat belt into the grey connector do I then put both the grey connectors back into the yellow housing and connect the yellow housing back together? Also do I just leave the original red and black wire dangling or put tape on it as it seems a bit dangerous leaving out like that. Thanks

Worked fine🎉.Thanks man😊

I’m trying to get the switch disconnected but it’s just not shifting . Is there a special way to disconnect it ?

I got all the way to the same connector for the seatbelt emulator, except the wire colors are different. There's no red and black on the connector I have, even though it's the same shape and location 🤔

Great video thank you

Could you not code out the seat belt chime using a coding software?. If that is done, Will the airbag sensor still go off if the chime piece is not used and only the emulator ?

thankx for the video, it works!!! 🙂

Is there really a difference between these emulators if it fits the same chassi? I've got a 2009 320xd E90 and might've been too quick on the shopping finger when I ordered this emulator using your link. I went through the compability list and found out the 320xd wasn't listed there. Will it still fit? Very informative video!

I was cleaning my seat using a spot cleaner and since it got wet my passenger occupancy senor comes one at random times. Can I fix this by drying the seat with a hair drier do you think? Kinda pissed as i was only cleaning it to make it tidy for the warrant of fitness.. :(

what scanner do you use to read and clear codes like this on your car? I am about to install this thing on my M3.

I have 93C1 fault in ECU and my airbag lights are turned on, both small lamps and big red one on dashboard where usually clock and temp is... Can this trick fix that? So I get rid of fault from memory, no fault lights on dashboard - BUT - will airbags deploy (both, I don't care) in case of accident? The ding-ding "no seatbelt on" is working properly, when seat is empty, it will not chime, when someone sits in the seat but doesn't buckle up, it will chime until seatbelt is on... So I'm confused since you have to have seatbelt pluggen in to solve your issue but mine is simply - airbags will not deploy probably because of faulty passenger seat occupancy sensor...

What’s the easiest way to disconnect the 2011 328i convertible negative terminal on battery? Drove Mercedes for years and when I looked in my trunk for the terminal was a little confused.

How did you hide the seat buckle emulator?

Do you have a video for the bmw f30?

Installed mine. Cleared code by shop. Came back a week later. Also drained my battery!

after this install is done will the light turn off on its own?

Will this be useful for swapping oem seats out for racing seats? Also would I need to purchase 2 for both seats? Last would this work on a 2013 m3 e92

We’re can I buy the kit

My chime is already coded so there's no sound when not waering a seatbelt, do i need to do the second step? And do i need to code the error out after installing the bypass?

Will this also turn the airbag light off?

this work for the driver seat also ?

Does this disable the seat belt extender arm?

Should i disconnect battery before all this?

Hi In my 2011 E92 occasionally the airbag warning will go off when the passenger seat is empty. Whenever someone sits on the seat the same airbag / seatbelt warning comes on. Will this fix eliminate the airbag light?

So what will happen if my kids sit in the front seat? Are you saying that the airbags will go off when they sit on the seat just cause or ur saying in an accident if i have my 9yr in the front seat that the air bags will go off anyways and that can harm my child?

Will you be also removing turn-lights? LOL JK you guys dont use them anyway.
