3rd Gen front seat electrical connections - Toyota Yaris Forums

Can someone with a 3rd gen Yaris grab a photo of the electrical connections under the driver/passenger front seats for me please? Trying to figure out if the plugs are the same as the 2nd gen before I purchase a pair of seats from an online wrecker. Thanks!

Gen3 seats into a Gen2 has been documented a couple times here. Don't recall anyone having issues with electrical connections. Only thing I do recall is an ever so slight difference in mounting holes. You have to place all 4 bolts in loose before tightening any of them. One other thing is a locator pin on a rail needs to be cut off.

Oops, just noticed you have a sedan. Experiences I know of were for the hatchback.

Yes I recall the thread you speak of depicting this. I noticed that user is from Australia didn't make any mention of the connectors, so I just wanted to "double-confirm" for North American vehicles. Options are limited if you want working airbags with your seat swap as CTScott no longer produces his bypass kit for the electronics side of things.

Bump.

I'll post a photo this weekend. In the mean time, Gen3 seats have two air bag connectors + the seat belt connector. Assuming Gen2 is the same as the xD, then one airbag connector will go unused.
