    Anyone (SoCal/OC) with ISTA-D software/computer?

    Need to reprogram my car (Body Control Module) to skip over the Seat Occupancy Sensor check - this is for the seat swap project as my e93 seats don't have this feature/sensor.
    Barring that, anyone know if I can (just) jump a couple of pins with a resistor to achieve the same result?

    IMHO:
    I would suggest you think twice.
    That is the kind of modification that could follow you long after you sell the car...

    I would suggest installing the seat sensor from an E-31 seat into the E93 passenger seat to keep the supplemental restraint system functional as designed.

    The seat occupancy sensor is part of the passenger side supplemental restraint (air-bag) safety system and that is a safety system you or other will not want to be responsible for omitting/modifying; should things go wrong!!
    Just saying!!
