So i drive about 5K miles a month, my seat is really uncomfortable. i tried the washer idea to lift up a bit. it did help, but still wasnt that comfortable. i read somewhere that a guy installed a Volvoseat and that it was a much better seat compared to the prius. so i decided to give it a try. found a 1998 s70 volvo seat at a junkyard for $40 20161009_222246 by De Hsu posted Oct 9, 2016 at 10:49 PM Unfortunately that seats are very high because of the seat bracket i purchased from andysautosport 20161009_222251 by De Hsu posted Oct 9, 2016 at 10:49 PM i'm gonna try to fine a another prius seat and cut off the bracket to lower it when i have the chance, i dont want to use mine just in case i decide to sell it later. i even ran the power so now i have power SEATS! but i fell like a truck drive it sits so freaking high.
All the other airbags will still work. He only left it unplugged cause I'm assuming that the Volvo seat doesn't have a side airbag. iPhone ?
great job, well done! so many people would like to be able to do what you're doing. i'll be following your progress, please keep us posted.
Cool! Srs light comes turns off after plugging it back? Or you have to reset the computer to turn it off?
It will remain lit until there is a airbag plugged back in. There are way to bypass it & trick the system into thinking there is no errors. iPhone ?
Unfortunately the entire srs system is disabled when a fault is detected. You can bypass that seat with a precision resistor matching the resistance of the air bag. I nervously measured a seat belt pretensioner in a saab once and it was approximately three ohms . After removing the connector shorting device I was optomistic the 9v in the meter wasn't enough to deploy a seat belt pretensioner and I was correct. If it has deployed it would have been a completely different saab story
