Question Considering chage my seat.

Guys,
Did anybody think about to change the seat?
or did anyone did it alreay?
I heard that there are side air bags on the seat so that if I replace the seat with after market one the computer will have a problem with it and other air bags will explose at any time.
I really wanna get a recaro seat.
So, please, if anyone knows anything about it, let me know.
Thank you.

Wire in a 4.7 Ohm resistor as shown...This tricks the system to thinking the Air bags are still there:

The plug and wiring are already installed in your vehicle. You just need to remove the plug off of your seat and wire in that resistor.

I couldnt find the resister locally in Hawaii as it has to be the one in the DIY..I ordered mine off ebay and got it a few days later.
I just put each end of the resistor into the ends of the plug and taped it secured.. I didnt want to cut my oem harness.

Read the DIY and you'll get the idea..Good luck!
