CT Cobalts
So last night I picked up a set of 2005 cobalt ss leather seats so I could finally get rid of my crappy 2006 cobalt lt seats. So I take my old seats out and instal my new SS seats. Well the SS seats are missing the wiring harness that my old seats had under the bottom of them so now a message saying "service airbag" is showing on my car. So my questions are, is their a chance when driving that my airbags could suddenly go off? If I get into an accident will my airbags not go off at all? Is it possible to remove the wiring harness from my stock seats and put them on my new ss seats?
any help is appreciated, thank you

I would think that the airbags wouldnt go off... but not sure on something like that. Better call the dealer on this one...
Ya I guess I will have to do that, I was hoping someone here new about it though.

A friend of a good buddy of mine just had some major work done to his dsm and all the work just so happened to have been done by bob there at Forced Induction Motorsports, and guess what. He was JUST on the dyno last night! Yes that's right, last night! Apparently the dyno has in fact NOT been broken at all. Truth of the matter is that he's actually going to Ohio this weekend for a a DSM shootout. I just recently found out from Mike (ixxgh0stxxi) about who the guy is that owns this shop, and I wish I had spoken up sooner because this dude has a looooonnnngggg history of being a shady ass character (Mike himself has no issue or connection to the guys mind you). I hadn't put the 2 together at first when you first mentioned the dyno day because I didn't realize he changed the name of his shop and moved to a different location.... hmmmm
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but lying to you and the rest of us who put a whole day aside for an event only to find out that he straight up LIED because he's going to another event that is apparently more important to him is just flat out messed up. Sorry but this guy will not be getting my business for any future dyno days.
I thought so but both the passanger and drivers side seats have the wiring harness. The passanger seat light above the a/c controls isnt lighting up properly and I have the red airbag warning on my dash and its showing a message saying "serice airbag"
Ya I guess I will have to do that, I was hoping someone here new about it though.

Damn.... that is some shady ****. If he wanted to go to a meet so bad why would he even tell you guys that date as an available dyno day.
Lets still get a sonic/go-kart meet going though.

Oh, I have the recaros and no passenger on/off option, as are all the SS models I believe. Have you tried searching the how-to section? I would think this is a popular mod so I bet other people have figured it out.

Yeah we definitely still need to do another sonic meet, but it's probably best that we don't do it this weekend. I'd really like to give everyone a big enough heads up so we can organize it a little better.
I have no idea, but's definitely messed up. I'm guessing he commited to our dyno day and then he caught wind of this dsm thing after the fact so he probably figured his only way out of a DYNO day is to claim that his DYNO is on the *******.... just a guess though.

Yeah exactly! We had a GREAT turnout last time which was awesome, but I'd like to try to top that and seriously organize something that we can open invite people from NY, RI, Mass, and where ever else we can pull in some deltas.

well i just sent him a text. i have known bob since highschool days and this pissed me off i told him the dyno day is off. after all these years of being friends with bob i mean hell i know his mom! im waiting for his response to see how he is gunna handle this.
allright so the response i got...and it is valid because i saw the dyno running like this is that its reading 100% humidity and high ambient temp. so the dyno he did last night for was just for a tune not for numbers. the dyno mechanically is fine its the computer side of it. take it for what it is. could be true could be not. owell sorry everybody!
So I'm on my phone so I dont wanna quote 100 posts but that sucks about the dyno day. About the seats for my car, my buddy buddy and I swapped over the harness and everything seams to be ok. It was a big pain in the ass though.

I have a friend with a first gen Scion xB RS 3.0 who might be interested in coming. He told me to keep him updated.
Sept 22nd would work for me tho.And the dyno day (or lack there of) is disapointing, and he should've just told you stright up... whatever... we'll have another...
