Hey guys,
I fitted a set of non-OEM Recaro Sportster CS seats to my 197 a while back but I never got round to fixing the airbag lights - something I intend to do now.
From my understanding, factory Recaros have no side airbags but do have an anti-sub airbag fitted, which has a plug where you connect a resistor and then connect the seat plug to the car plug, fooling your ECU into thinking the side airbags are present and therefore removing the light.
In my situation, I have no seat-side plug as my seats have no airbags at all. Does the ECU detect a missing anti-sub airbag or will fitting a resistor just for the side airbags (as per OEM Recaros) remove the light?
Would appreciate it if anyone could shed some light.
Cheers,
Nick
