I just bought a set of ION Recaros for my LS. Has anyone else done this swap? What about the passenger's seat air bag sensor?

 

What about it? Does the seat you bought have one? If not, you have a problem. You would need to bypass the switch so the airbag is always on.

 

The Recaros don't have the pass air bag sensor. I just wondered if anyone had transfered the sensor from the LS seat to the Recaro. It also looks like the LS pass seat has a plate between the seat track and cushion.

 

**** that ****. passengers are FTL

 

unbolt the bottom part that supports the cushion from your LS (the piece with the springs and the sensor, should have 4 screws holding it in), pull the whole bottom piece out, remove the cushion, use the bottom part with the springs (and the sensor) for the recaros. thats what i did when i put SS seats into my 2.4.

So basicly you're just swapping the entire piece out.

 

It will physically fit. Transferring the seat sensor isn't feasible. You would have to reupholster it.

 

Thanks, that's what I wanted to hear!!

 

Well, I got the Recaros installed and man are they an improvement over the base LS seats. Also, I was able to transfer all the airbag hardware to the passenger side Recaro, and works just like stock.

 

sweet. thats just sweet. good job on the swap.

 

Does anyone know how to bypass the sensor so its always on?

 

No, I couldn't fiqure that out. But, transfering the pass seat air bag hardware is very easy.

 

yea, my module or something isnt working. gonna cost $1000 to have GM fix it. (warranty up). Was hoping i could do something to put it always on cuz as far as im concerned anyone tha is light enough for it not to come on wont be riding in my front seat.

 

this picture...is this a full ion seats in a cobalt?

 

looks like it man... those are IRL rears in there.

 

how much were those seats?

 

you can probably find 'em in a junk yard for a couple hundred...

 

this excites me..i now know FOR SURE that they'll fit cuz my buddy that wants to trade wanted to know too because he wants both front and back

 

looks like it'll work to me man

 

nothing like a fat guy wanting regular ss seats for his recaros lol

 

Glad you got the sensor swapped. I need to do that this weekend as well to my recaros.

 

I installed Recaros in my LS last weekend. Now eveytime I turn the car on, it tells me to service airbag. This weekend I guess I'll be swapping out that piece so I won't have that airbag light on anymore. Thanks for the help!
