Base model BRZ - What do you need to bypass airbag light errors with race seats?

There are two smaller bolts that attach each sensor to the sliders, and then one larger bolt that connects the sensor to the seat.

I managed to sort of get this working with my Bride seats. Those seats attach horizontally to the rails but the rails have two pieces that are screwed together vertically. I took out the four sensors from the stock seat and screwed them in between the two rail pieces at one point each. This is enough to cause the airbags to always be on.

The large screw in the middle, I could not figure out how to remove it from the sensor, so I sawed it off so that the sensor could fit between the rails. I also needed to connect the OEM seatbelt buckle to the harness in order to turn off the airbag warning light and also get the passenger airbags to engage. That is just fastened underneath the seat right now.

The sensors need to stick out of the rails a bit rather than in where they would be hidden just because of fitment issues with the harness plugs.

A couple of my friends were able to fabricate a passenger seat weight sensor bracket for anyone interested.

Provides a solution for mounting those seat sensors in a fixed position underneath your seat (they'll scratch the bottom of your seat due to the bolts attached to each sensor (unless if you saw it off).

If interested, feel free to shoot @ akitakuya a message on instagram (not me).

(These have been tested to fit Bride FG & Buddy Club rails so far)
