So I've tried the method stated in the sticky which is follows.
AIRBAG LIGHT COMING ON AFTER CAR AUDIO INSTALL

****IIMPORTANT****
Turn the ignition off as soon as the airbag light goes out the first time.

If you have the airbag light blinking here is how to reset it:

1. Push the start button two times (Ignition on but engine not started).

2. Watch the airbag light closely. It will stay on for a few secs. and then as soon as it blinks off (the start of the flashing), turn the key off INSTANTLY.

3. Count to 5 (1 Mississippi, 2 Mississippi . . . .)

4. Repeat steps 1-3 two more times until you have done the cycle three times.

5. Now turn the key on and watch the light. It will start blinking in a different, slower manner. This is diagnostic mode. You can watch this for a little while, no hurry.

6. Now turn the key off again, Count to 5 like in step 3 again, and turn back on. If the procedure worked, the airbag light will not be flashing.

If it does not work the first time, just repeat the steps again.

I've tired this multiple times and it is not working for me. I checked to make sure all my wires are pluged in under the seat and they are. I have a 2009 370z Nismo. Is there a different method to reset the airbag light for a nismo? If anyone has a video of them resetting it or any other suggestions on how to turn it off I would really appreciate it.
