Seat swap

Anyone do a seat swap? We just did it and my car is throwing the airbag code. We disconnected the battery for a long while prior to hooking up the new seats and then hooked battery back up for 15 minutes then turned car on and now there is the airbag code.

We also swapped the headlights out with the blackline and it is throwing a code for those as well as the factory lights were adaptive, and the blackline do not come in adaptive. Do I need to have Mini eliminate this code? I will post this question separately too.

Any information is greatly appreciated.

haven't done a seat swap but I did have to take the seat belt bolt off when I was installing my sub. When I connected the battery again it threw an airbag code. For whatever reason, this code went away after I changed a busted fuse I had. Check your fuse box; you may get lucky.

Check the fault. Alot of times the airbag light will come on when removing and reinstalling seats. Are you sure the seats you installed work with the car? As far as the lights I think you have to program the car for them to not set off the light. Since they are not adaptive.

We figured the seats out. No airbag lights.
