Hey guys, I have a 16 premium GT and have a local guy with a 19 pp1 w/ Recaros who wants to swap for the heated/cooled function.

Do those Recaros have the side impact airbag? If so will will it just plug into my connection or are they different?

Yes they will bolt in the car, but the airbags in the seats are different gen2 vs 3 and your airbag light will be on.

And what if I were to just swap the bladder/sensor in the passenger seat?

The airbags are the problem they are different resistance and will trip the airbag light. There is an airbag on the sides of the recaros

No sir the airbags are not the problem. Only the different sensors in the passenger seats.

I swapped the bladder and sensor from just the passenger seats and all works flawlessly with no airbag lights for both the 16’ and 19’ cars.

Great tech that will help others for sure.

Just linking this thread here too, which will also help others. It’s one of the originals regarding seat swaps (mods should sticky the original):
