Default Putting in racing seats to replace factory seats w/ side airbags....

I want to put in some Corbeau CR1 racing seats but I have the factory "leather" with the side airbags. I heard if you take out the seats, the airbag light comes on....anyway to fix this? I've tried the search with no avail.


Thanks!

P.S. These are the seats:

Leave the bags plugged under the Corbeau seats and you can eject yourself, lol.

I don't think you can override this

Those seats look really nice...any way to make them fit with power controls? I'd like to have those but don't care about weight savings...I want to keep power seats though.

You can try to emulate the electronics, but in the end I dunno for sure without looking it.

I would love to get one of these - just the drivers seat though :P Who says I need two...

the airbag control unit sees a certain ammount of resistance from each airbag. all you need to do is find out how much it needs to see from the seat airbags and put a resistor in the connector.

here's the tricky part... you need to figure out the resistance spec, but i wouldnt just stick your multi-meter in the airbag connector if i were you. the meter doest give off very much voltage at all (when testing resistance/continuity) but it is POSSIBLE that something wierd could happen and the airbag could deploy if you do that.

so find the spec somewhere online.
