Replacement seat options

That brings up a very good point. Know what you are buying or at least know how to recognize an airbag system. Having an airbag charge go off unexpectedly while installing can be dangerous.

AND may require a change in underwear!

how can an airbag go off if the seat is NOT attached to any power source? or are they mechanical activate / inflate?

There are a number of OSHA articles that discuss the handling of airbags.

How does it happen? How do unloaded guns kill people? People don't know what they are doing when screwing with them (most folks are from a generation that either never had them or from the generations that followed who can't change a tire). Airbags are rated as an explosive charge and I'm only suggesting you treat them as such.

good point... but was not referring to removing them or even touching them. was referring ONLY to not plugging up the seat's electrical harness if they have air bags in them.

UPDATE:

Randomly ran across a totaled BMW X3 at a car shop. I asked the guy what he wanted for both seats..... he said $40.

I said deal.....

He gave me the wiring diagrams, the seats, the harness up to the main loom (18” or so long), and the heated seat buttons. I gave him $60.... maybe should have given him more, but he was happy for the extra money.

In the pictures, the seats are all the way up (easier to get at the bolts) and just placed in the truck. Brackets look easy to make.

I have a video of the seat power working in the truck. How do I post that?

UPDATE: got more wiring diagrams. Added lumbar support controls diagrams.

I used a pair of air seats. Really like the ability to see things below the bumper at max up position. 3rd time up is max.
