Alright, so after talking with some people, I think I'm about to attempt to use the stock seat belt buckles ( with the firing mech ) and disassemble the passenger seat to get the occupancy mat out.
I just think that it'll be better to do this and not have to deal with codes or the possibility of the airbags not functioning properly which wouldn't be worth anyone's life, heaven forbid.
Wish me luck... I'm going in there !!!!
