I have noticed there is a sensor for the passenger seat. It determines if there is anyone sitting there in order to arm the passenger side air bag. What have others done about this?

What do you guys think about this set? Reclining and a very good price (under $300 shipped for both seats).

Really nice looking seats. Would you get one of the weapon type R brackets and modify it?

How about the sensor for the passenger to activate the airbag?

they do look pretty nice, but i don't know how much that counts for. i would prefer to be able to read reviews and get opinions from yw members that have the seats that i may end up getting.

good find for someone wanting nice looking seats for a reasonable price

If we had the money, Street Racer GT

Like fuji, I'm wondering about the airbag sensor too on the passenger side...

those are pretty nice looking seats Brian. i find it funny that they don't sell any Toyota brackets to go with TRD replica seats. I like them though, they'd go well with our cars!

Rain · 03-27-2009, 08:17 PM

Dork, can you look into the airbag question? I'm concerned too :P

Hey Yall,
I recently ordered a pair of racing seats and wondered the same thing about the sensors.
It turns out that you can bypass the whole system by plugging in a 3 OHM Resister with 10% Tolerance. You can by these at Radio Shack and put them in yourself. It should fit right in there without any problems. If there are any prongs sticking out of the plug, you have to pry them out, or else it won't work. A guy named Ed who works for Recaro explained it to me. If you don't want to go to Radio Shack, you can buy the Recaro version of the resister for $20 a pop. Call him at 248-340-7616 if you have any questions.

m911gt · 03-27-2009, 09:37 PM

so wait, did that bypass the sensor so it's permanently off? or so it's on? what did this do exactly? i would like to still use my passenger airbag

marlondog · 03-27-2009, 10:43 PM

This keeps your airbag system working at all times, so your passenger side airbag will deploy without a passenger in it.

Rain · 03-27-2009, 11:53 PM

Thanks! That helps...

Even though I don't think I'd get in an accident in his car, I'd rather be safe

m911gt · 03-28-2009, 01:28 AM

i see...i guess that's much better than the bags not working...though it'd be an expensive accident just driving alone. hah, at least it's safe for a passenger tho.

Rain · 03-28-2009, 01:58 AM

^ I think you're actually safer when you're driving alone ;) *insert evil laugh here*
