Oh maybe the beltminder thing cos there is a sensor in the seat for that.Dropping some buckets in Tocchi? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 15/06/09 06:39 AM Share Posted 15/06/09 06:39 AM I got an airbag error warning and the "transmission not in park" (even though I have a manual) when I did my stereo. Removed the seats with the battery unplugged. Got the warning when I started her back up the first time. Turned it all the way off and then back on and it was all good. Not sure how you will go when driving with all the plugs not hooked up. Will be a sh*t if it chimes at you constantly for not wearing your seat belt.
