R56 Front seats.

[ACowan26]

Hi there.
I've got two bucket style seats sitting in my garage and I was hoping to put them to use in my R56 Mini Cooper S.
Does anybody know how to overcome the seat sensor and airbag warning lights coming on. Do you get any plug in adapters that cancel the warning lights from coming on or is there not a way to fit front seats that don't have air bags in them?

Many thanks,
A.Cowan

On the R53, the resistors you need are 3.9ohm. 20p or something in Maplins.

Not sure what you need for the R56 but they might well be the same - wouldn't surprise me

Thanks for all the replies. R11SGO, I have seen these a few times now but I'm puzzled to how they fit into the original plug/wiring loom. Will I need to cut any wiring etc to instal them or is it as simple as fitting them into the plug?

Any pictures/diagrams to highlight how these get installed would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

I cut the wire before the connector, and soldered the resistor across the wire. The plan was that this would allow me to reattach the connector if I wanted to put the stock seats back in.

This has slightly gone out the window now the car has a rollcage welded in...
