Hello. I’m sure this has been covered. But i can’t seem to find a current / updated link.

is there a plug and play resistor for the airbags instead of soldering one for the r53 airbag ?

upgrading my seats soon.

Thank You

 

The '06 has to have a special emulator. Supposedly some of them work, but I've never tried.

 

emulator? You have more info or link? Good to know Thank You

 

it's probably better to code it out of the airbag module with NCSEXPERT, that is what I do with mine

 

i only have the foxwell abs and srs coder. Will that work?

 

no you need a kcan cable and INPA and ncsexpert working, ncsdummy makes the config edit easier so get that too

 

oh boy. There’s no way i can even splice the cable from the old seats? There’s gotta be another way

 

You could remove the occupancy sensor from the old seat and hook it up. Coding is possibly easier though. I bought one of those emulators a long time ago when my sensor failed, but I just ended up coding mine out as well before I could try the emulator. I believe it's OC3 in NCSdummy, but it's been a while.

I just realized that you'd have to code out the airbags as well so probably best to just get everything set up for coding. My brain was only half awake when I answered earlier.

 

Contact the boys at Detroit tuning, I think they might have exactly what you need or can point you in the right direction.

 

thank you

 

I might be doing a seat swap myself, but just the driver’s side, however I got a buddy that swaps seat in his R56 and they had what he needed, I think he talks to Chad, but don’t quote me on this one.

 

ya chad is emailing me something. Waiting for it.

thanks again guys. Will keep this thread posted.

 

?

I had an airbag out of my Countryman briefly. I just disconnected the plug and stuck a 3.3 ohm resistor in the pins. Worked fine?
Note: 3.3 ohm, not 3.3k ohm.

I found this https://www.ebay.com/itm/4PCS-SRS-Ai...Cclp%3A2334524
this should work?

 

I purchased the OEM air bag end of the connectors from Germany and made my own....."plug and play"

 

Got pics?

you just did a connector with no Resistor?

 

I purchased two MINI wiring "repair kits" for the airbags.
I purchased resistors.
Then soldered the resistor to the two wires coming off that connector.
Then plugged that new connector into the airbag harness for the seat.

When plugged in, the system thinks the airbag is still connected.

 

YEs, question remains what size Resistor did you use? what years your Mini?

thank you

 

Just home from work.
Been driving for 7hrs.
Give me a min....Just sat down to eat and haven't had a meal since yesterday.

I think I have left over resistors I can mail you !

 

I looked everywhere for the "leftovers" of the airbag repair kit hoping to get you a part no......I think I may have tossed them away cleaning out some old MINI stuff.

Just go to a MINI parts counter and order up a "repair kit" for the airbag side of that harness.

They cost about $50.00 ea I think but works great for a plug and play set up.

 

awesome man, thank you and what year is your mini?

2003. Its a 3/2003 build.
I can mail these to ya.
Send me your details via pm.

 

MINI kit had wire ties too I think but yes, it's very similar to what you will be asking the parts advisor for.
