First thing I'd look for is a loose connector. Easy to check the seats, just stick you head on the floor and look. Checking if you knocked something loose during the radio install will be more difficult.

Thanks all. I searched the forum for "air bag" but never thought to search for "airbag". That difference proved important, I guess. I will try this procedure when I get home. I didn't see anything in it about the "check engine" light though. Will this procedure fix that too?

There are a few resets and things that you have to do every time you unplug the battery or deal with your HU..

Windows turn off automatic rollup- Check engine light & airbag light!
