Now, while DSC_OFF has verified that this gizmo does solve the airbag light issue, the other (important) question is do the airbags indeed deploy when they should? Would someone please install the simulator and then run their car into something so we know for sure?

Those seats look incredible!
Woo hoo! The answers in this thread could not be more timely! I have been talking with Dorifto this week about getting a set. In red. Should look good and otherwise snap up the black interior a bit (not to mention allowing me to drive around corners at the track without bracing against the door, transmission tunnel, or hanging on to the wheel while trying to actually drive). Thank you for all the legwork! |

The seats look great. Speaking of the installation, what kind of mounts did you use? Did you use adjustable plates like VAC makes? Do you have sliders? Thanks.

I emphasize MY install because as you know, every seat is different. My advice to you is go to a local race shop and find the seat you like best. See if others have installed it (Z4 or E46) and if so, find what hardware they went with. If you're tall enough to get away without using a slider, I highly recommend looking into these. I think MS floor mount + receptacle + this side mount will make your install 10x easier than mine. http://www.turnermotorsport.com/p-17...t-slotted.aspx Last edited by 3002 tii; 02-16-2013 at 06:26 PM.. |

Functional and looks great also, the ideal combination. Are you going to write up a DIY thread, I'm sure there are others who are interested in doing this. How much of a weight savings did you achieve?

I actually found the EAS YouTube DIY to be the most helpful but truth is different seats will have different procedures although the basic process remains the same. However I can add some tidbits I found helpful for my particular install.

Whoa sir your thread just made my day! I wish I read this thread earlier. Just installed a pair of Recaro CS racing seats, and the warning light drives me crazy!
I have two questions if you please 1. When buying a occupancy sensor emulator, does it matter weather the car is an euro spec or american spec? 2. Do i need to buy 2 emulators for both seats? Or just the passenger seat will do? Thanks! Bill |

1. Doubt it as I'm pretty sure the part numbers for the occupancy sensor for both US-spec and Euro cars are same but you should check realoem to be sure. 2. Nope, only need one for passenger side. |

I realize some other ebay sellers have such statement too, and I have no idea what kind of specs Australian Vehicles are. lol Anyway, I have emailed couple of sellers including the one you suggested previously. Hope everything will work out soon! |

Go to www.realoem.com, enter last 7 of your VIN and look up the part number for your occupancy sensor. Then look up a generic US model equivalent and see if the part number matches. |
