Anyone in the SF Bay Area with an F30 seat mat emulator?

zzarzzur · 07-18-2018, 10:45 AM

I’m headed down to LA in my 2012 328i in a couple days, but completely forgot that my passenger restraint system is throwing errors. Is there anyone around the Bay Area willing to sell the bypass mod like in https://shop.blshop24.com/en_US/p/BM...A-version-/104 ? I had ordered one online but it’s not going to get here in time for my trip.

Have you explored if there's any way of clearing the codes or coding it out?

I've tried clearing it out, but the error continuously trips. I also can't find anyway of coding out the sensor pad on an F30, only on the older models.

A long time ago I had a tech check it out, and they confirmed that the sensor was the thing causing an error. However the amount they quoted me to fix it was way out of my budget.

What's the issue? Airbag warning or seat belt chime/light?

If it's the latter, just code away the warning with Carly or Bimmercode.

A short term solution is to cut the tab from an old seat belt and insert it in the buckle. I did that on my E92 while I was waiting for warranty placement of my seatbelt mat.

It's the airbag warning, though sometimes it's also the passenger seat belt chime, but that's just on top of the airbag warning.
