Does anyone know how to remove the seat cushion? I need to replace the airbag seat sensor mat - part number 65779154961. anyone ever try doing this?

 

Sorry I can't be of any help, but what error message were you getting from idrive?
I have just posted a thread about the message 'Front passenger airbags faulty' appearing on my car but unsure what is causing it.

 

you have to take the whole seat out and then take the bottom seat out and i believe there is a holding screw on the bottom. . Leather is holding by metal clips that you need to unclip and then you will be able to take the mat sensor out.

after that you need to get a new clip to put it in.

I believe you have to program the car after you are done with it. My tech just did it on mine and had to reprogram the car.

 

I thought there was a recall on this issue?

I had done the recall on my sport seats, however, i replaced it with comfort seats.

thanks! would you happen to know the part number on the new clips?

I am receiving the same fault. I know for a fact that the airbag sensor mat is faulty. when it gets warm out, the seatbelt light flashes and the seat belt reminder pops up. When I give the seat cushion a few bang it goes away.

It may be the seat sensor mat as well, but it also can be the seat belt tensioner. In order to pinpoint the culprit, you may want to scan your car for error messages with inpa or an autologic device.
