Exclamation BMW F30 RHD to LHD Sport Seats Conversion

Hello everyone!

I have changed my base mechanical front seats (LHD) to the RHD (UK) Sport seats, also mechanical with heating.

As a result, when I connected the front seats, I've got a driver and passenger airbag errors.

My next steps:
I've been coding out passenger seat occupancy mat
I installed seat sensors from my LHD seats - part numbers 9243474 and 9243135.
So now the car should identify correctly which seat is a "driver" and which one is a "passenger".
Airbags presented in RHD seats, so I didn't do anything with them.

All electric components should be connected exactly as I had on my old LHD seats, with the exception of the passenger occupancy sensor, which is deactivated.

However, airbag errors not go away!

If I connected everything correctly - should the errors go away? Or errors stored in the car’s memory?

Maybe someone had experience in coding a RHD mechanical seats in a LHD car?
I read all topics about RHD to LHD conversion, but didn't find any info about mechanical seats conversion coding.

Most people use their airbags from their original seats in replacement seats.

I'd do that and use the Underseat Electronic Unit from your old seats. I imagine that would likely work without coding anything.

Airbag errors won't go away on their own, they need manually clearing. So if you've swapped the electrical stuff around then it should be just a case of clearing the codes.

Had this the other day where disconnecting the passenger airbag toggle switch triggered a passenger restraint system warning. Even after reconnecting it the error was still there. Ended up clearing it using Esys and the Transmitter external application to do a reset DTC and it's been fine since.
