Track Seat Install

I am about to begin the process of installing a set of Cobra Negaro seats in my 18 M2. I am fairly confident I can do this after watching some You-Tube videos. My one concern is coding out my seat airbags, and possibly the passenger occupancy sensor. Is there anyone here who has done this and could point me in the right direction.

Once you install E-sys it only takes a few minutes. Just a few changes then clear the faults. I could send you the screen shots I took when I did it.

Here they are. Does anyone know how to disable the seat heaters? My car is still throwing hidden code for that.

Maybe, unfortunately I don't know how to do that. I only mimic things that other people have posted about.

Not having great luck with them though. The first one I got had to have been a return based on the box and the scratches it had all over. The second one I got seemed new but still had some light scratching on it. Replacements are coming from Italy, I should get them at the end of March.

How's the side to side room? You're quite a bit thinner than I am, curious as to how snug they are. (May have to check them out at our next event )

They are not too snug. I think they will fit up to a 36" waist.
