What kind of seats do you have? I have the problem with comfort seats and apparently the whole bottom part has to be changed, cost...$2,800!!

I'm not giving up though, will find the cause one way or another, thanks for the pics!

 

I don't have comfort seats. ugh this is frustrating I cant figure out if this F-ing box thing is the mat sensor.

HELP

 

In your second pic you see the "plug" with the white, red and brown wire? Thats the head that you'd have to cut off and solder onto the emulator box and plug back in (the remaining dangling wires are fine to just leave dangling)

My post about what to do..

Here I made a picture to explain even clearer

Also it doesnt matter what seats you have cause all the emulator does is to force the signal that the seat is occupied. that will stop the broken seat mat error. However you may have to clear the error code. additonally it may bring up a seat belt unbuckled warning but in my original thread i listed a workaround of how to do it or you can simply click the seatbelt into the empty seat

 

Sorry, your photo is blurry. Any chance anyone can repost the pic?

 

Yes yes i resurrected an old thread, but because this thread was pretty useful, and i think somebody might find what i did useful. i had the Airbag light on and finally took shipment of my ICOM and used NCSExpert to code out the OC3 mat, but what wasn't mentioned in a bunch of threads is that on the comfort seats the connector for the mat is sometimes hidden under the leather backing right under the seat. Basically i just coded the OC3 mat to inactive then unplugged the mat but here is where i couldn't find anything online, it seemed i couldn't get rid of the error at all. I had a problem using ISTA where it wouldn't activate (turned out date was wrong) so i was trying to use my carly adapter/app to clear codes and it would say successful but wouldn't clear the code (thought that i had coded incorrectly). Eventually (the next day) I fixed ISTA (set the date) and cleared the code. Problem solved.

 

Hi
I live in Bali Indonesia and i had the airbag fault i installed an emulator on the passenger seat and rest the error with INPA the error on my INPA screen but i could not reset the Idrive and when i switched the ignition off and back on the error reappeared can someone explain f i am doing something wrong as it is driving me up the wall

 

Hey! I have the Airbag light and seat belt light on in my car. I read the codes on the car and the code was 9913. I found instructions on the internet how to trick the sensor with a resistor and a diode. We were advised to use 1n4001 diode, but the seller said that 1n4007 does the same thing. So i used a 1n007 diode and a 200ohm resistor as advised online. Code 9913 went away, but was replaced by code 9914. Can someone help where that code comes from? My guess is that the resistor might be the wrong size or something because that code didn't exist before.
