Installing 2015-17 Recaro seats in 2018+

[Mikepol2]

Did a lot of searching here but couldn't find anyone that has successfully been able to install 2015-2017 Recaro seats in a 2018+ Mustang. I understand there is something different about the air bag connection in the 2018+ but has anyone figured out exactly what it is and how to overcome the problem?

I assume the seat tracks and actual bolt locations are the same.

On a side note, has anyone verified that the air bags are different in the Recaro seats vs the stock seats? I imagine the air bags are a big reason the Ford Performance Recaro's are $3,000.

Airbags are the same, at least as far as the car is concerned.
can't speak to the connector problem.

The only thing materially different are the airbag connectors.
Something in the design changed from 18+ Factory-equipped Recaro models, which necessitated a change to the Ford Performance version of the Recaros.

From what most people have reported. In terms of the actual seat design, size, leather material, and all other inner-workings, the 15-17 vs 18+ Recaros are virtually the same.

It's unknown whether you could somehow splice an 18+ connector onto the 15-17 seats to make the airbags work. (unless someone has done this already)
