jackso11 Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 There seems to be loads of posts of people taking their passenger airbag out, but can you put one in? My car is not a facelift, has a top glovebox, but I want to put a passenger airbag in if its possible. Judging by the amount of people who want to get rid of theirs I am guessing there are a few that would be forsale if asked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ImporT_ProphetZ Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Im interested also. I dont like the extra weight I must carry around, wouldnt mind an air bag delete but dont like the guage pod that was made to go inside the air bag mounting spot either.

I wan to put an airbag in, you want to get rid of it. Taking it out is easy, disconnect the battery and remove the airbag and ecu from the centre console. The reconnect the battery. Done What I want to know is can I fit the ECU and airbag and it will work in my car? or will I need anything else? Basically, can you fit an airbag in a prefacelift.

ChrisH Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 I made some enquires some time ago about this - but was told it was going to be too much hassle. I bought a facelift instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackso11 Posted April 26, 2010 Author Share Posted April 26, 2010 what exactly is it that is hastle? I have one airbag so though it would just be a case of attaching the second airbag to its ecu, and then to the loom of the other one... Anyone done it?

ChrisH Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 I cant remember now - it was some time ago, but I thought the same at the time - just drop one in and connect it up. I think it was one of the traders on here that told me not to bother. Sorry, cant be of any more help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evinX Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 I purchased one for my non airbag supra, didnt wire up so i just removed the facia and fitted that, if you want an airbag you might have to get the wiring + sensors. If its an airbag model the connectors should be there ready and waititng to plug into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackso11 Posted April 29, 2010 Author Share Posted April 29, 2010 mine has a drivers airbag, but I don't know if a passenger airbag was an option at the time. I would think it uses the same sensors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evinX Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Yes, same sensors, also the loom would have the passenger airbag plug ready and waiting, easy to find out, drop the lower glove box partly, remove the top box and you should see it:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
