I dont have any pictures from when I did it. I have a couple extra here someplace that I can take a pic of, if I can find them.

No harness needed. They have the simulators with the plugs built onto them. I emailed a picture of the vehicle harness plugs for each of them. They built them to order.

The harness plugs you sent them pics of were the ones on the bottom of the stock seats and one inside the car where the stock seats go? Here’s a pic of what they told me they could do. Did you have to reuse harnesses from your old seats? That’s what they told me to do, but I haven’t had time to remove the harnesses and wiring and module from my old seats yet.

I modified the factory seats and retained the seat harness. The pics were of the plugs that the airbags plug into.

Here is a picture of a simulator from them. These plug into the factory harness in place of the airbag.

I positioned the passenger airborne control module under the seat and coiled and tucked away all the other non-required wiring (seat motor, seat airbag)

This way you get no errors or warning lights.

It all looks and works great now! Big improvement:

See my project thread for a few more pictures

we are working on that and think we can do it to where its one way only with air bag on or off only.

From what I read the 2010-2011 have a different harness and a sensor that was not in later models. Also from what I read is you only need a 2.1 - 4 ohm resistor that goes between the yellow wire with black tracer to the brown wire that run to the airbag plug/sensor. I have read basically all the forum posts on this and no one has posted anything with good detail on the procedure. Maybe when my stuff shows up ill try and document how to install a driver side seat on a 2010.

Does anyone have these for sale? I've emailed the originator company to no avail.
