Default GT2 seats - air bag light?

I noticed a red air bag light after the install of GT2 seats. Is this normal? Probably need a dealer to reset it,... are they still in working order with this light?

Once you install the GT2 seats you need to see the dealer so they can flash the computer to understand the new chairs. Pain in the ***, but for $70.00 bucks it gets everything back in order.

When the airbag light is on the dash i believe it means the the seat airbags will not activate.

Seeing as the stock seats do not have airbags, i would be fine with no airbags in my GT2 seats..... but again, it is nice to get the light off the dash....

On my gt3 the seat belt buckle can be moody (like if I sit on it when getting in the car). Shifting it around till the light goes off seems to work for me...

You need to have the dealer reset it. You most likely had the key in the ignition during install. If you leave the key out during the removal of the orginal and the install of the GT2's, you will have no warning lights come on since all sensors are in the Gt2 seats the same as your stock ones.

I just installed GT2 seats in my GT3. The seat belt light goes off fine for the drivers seat, but the passenger seat light on the console stays on all the time, even when someone is there with the belt on. Not sure how to fix that.
