Coding for Aftermarket Seats (Recaro)

[coolmody]

I have a set of Recaro Sportster CS seats waiting to be installed. Does anyone know the values I need to code to disable all the seatbelt and airbag warnings I will get after the swap? I was able to find these codes for E9x, but I'm not sure if they would be the same on the F8x platform. Codes for E9x:

SIDEBAG_LINKS_1
aktiv (Make this nicht_aktiv, this is left side seat airbag.)

SIDEBAG_RECHTS_1
aktiv (Make this nicht_aktiv, this is right side seat airbag.)

OC3_1
aktiv (Make this nicht_aktiv, this is the occupancy mat.)

For newer cars:

AKS_LINKS_1_CD
aktiv (Make this nicht_aktiv, this is the left side active head restraint.)

AKS_RECHTS_1_CD
aktiv (Make this nicht_aktiv, this is the right side active head restraint.)

Suggestion: You could VO code ACSM against a Euro GTS Typeschlüssel... 4S91.

Since this is safety-critical stuff I should state that I assume no risk and my suggestions should be used for experimental purposes only. :-)

Euro GTS has the thorax bags.

Small update with some help from THEANCHORED

Coded the following in the ACSM module:

Occupancy sensor:
CIS_Beifaher: aktiv -> nicht_aktiv

Driver seat airbag:
Sitzairbag_Thorax_Fahrer: aktiv -> nicht_aktiv

Passenger seat airbag:
Sitzairbag_Thorax_Beifahrer: aktiv -> nicht_aktiv

Passenger seat position sensor:
Sitzpositionsensor_Beifahrer: aktiv -> nicht_aktiv

Driver seat position sensor memory:
Sitzpositionsensorserkennung_Sitzmemory_Fahrer: aktiv -> nicht_aktiv

Some of the codes related to the seat position sensor were already set to nicht_aktiv so I didn't touch them (ie. Sitzpositionsensor_Fahrer: nicht_aktiv)

Coded the car FIRST without unplugging the factory seats, and got the errors below in iDrive. After swapping the seats and unplugging the factory seats, the errors remain. Have also retained the plug carried over from the factory seat belt buckle with no changes.

Help?

Your interior looks decent!
Hope you solve the problem soon

Ps. I'm replacing the seats too. Your thread will be useful

Selling your current seats?

See PM

The codes I posted above worked!

Thanks to both shawnsheridan and THEANCHORED for both helping out. All I needed to do was reset the SRS/Airbag/Restraint system errors and make sure the factory seatbelt receptacles were plugged in the correct way into the large yellow factory plug. I used tool32.exe from EDIABAS to reset the errors using the following directions from shawnsheridan:

Clear Fault Codes:

Launch C:\EDIABAS\Bin\TOOL32.EXE
Hit F3
Load C:\EDIABAS\Ecu\F01.PRG
In the "Select Job: F01" window, select FS_LOESCHEN_FUNKTIONAL
Hit F5
"Results" window should show "JOB_STATUS = OKAY"

Note: fs_lesen_funktional only read fault codes, FS_LOESCHEN_FUNKTIONAL will delete it.

in the process of doing this.. did all the coding you provided above but i still need to reset my airbag module by using tool32.

did your errors turn into just "restraint malfunction" instead of passenger/driver restraint malfunction after you did the coding?

with no reset.. i now only have one "restraint malfunction" instead of passenger and driver restraint malfunction.

[coolmody]

You need to do a reset using tool32. Also check to make sure the seat belt receptacle is properly plugged into the factory yellow connector.

Hi, do you have any pictures? How was the mounting? did you need to use any subframe?

[Revvvm3]

Just got my Recaro Sportster CS installed. Was anyone able code this successfully? I'm still getting the Driver Restraint light. Did the coding stated above and I still have the light on. Also if someone knows where to plug in the seatbelt connector.

[coolmody]

Seatbelt receptacle goes on the very bottom plug in your photo. Make sure that's plugged in correctly to clear the driver restraint error.

Plugged in, coded, and still have the Christmas Tree dashboard...

Are you getting driver restraint and airbag warnings? Any passenger side warnings?

Both

Reset using tool32 and instructions above if you have the airbag warnings. The driver/passenger restraint errors occur if you don't have the seatbelt receptacles plugged in correctly.

Im solved this problem friends without connected plugs. If anyone need to help just send me pm

[gvitki]

Hi friends,
I have the same problem.
I have performed all the coding steps listed above, but without success.
Can you please help me?
Infinitely thank you very much!!

I tried to install the seats in an 2020 F87 M2 Comp today, and seems like no matter what I do, I can't code out one restraint system error.

I only have the driver seat changed right now, was making sure I can code everything before changing the passenger seat.

I have the factory belt buckle on, the connector is connected correctly, because if I remove the connector I get a secondary code.

I tried to clear all the codes with tool32 but one won't clear.

So far I coded all the following:

Occupancy sensor:
CIS_Beifaher: aktiv -> nicht_aktiv

Driver seat airbag:
Sitzairbag_Thorax_Fahrer: aktiv -> nicht_aktiv

Driver seat position sensor memory:
Sitzpositionsensorserkennung_Sitzmemory_Fahrer: aktiv -> nicht_aktiv

Coded all the memory settings to nicht_aktiv as well.

Any help would be appreciated.

Just ordered some Sparco QRT seats. Were you guys able to get the coding resolved?
