So, putting Recaros into a 2015 Evo requires using the seat belt buckles that came with the car (I guess something is different with the wiring?). What about putting Recaros in an older (2011) Ralliart that did not come with Recaros? Would the seat belt buckles from the original seats need to be used as well?

i just did a swap from a red leather recaros and i swapped with a 2011 Evo x. even swapping over my rails/weight sensors my air bag light is on. any one have a fix for this?
or do i have to clear the code at a dealership or maybe just install resistors? they only thing i did not do was swap over the old driver seat buckle. could that maybe why the air bag light is still on? i see most people not having to do that to the driver seat but maybe the 2015 are different and need that?

guys just an UPDATE. i did not swap over my OEM buckle on my driver side. After swapping them back over my air bag light went off. a lot of people are unclear.
you will need to swap over for a 2015 X your driver side buckle only, for the pass side. you need to swap the bottom base with your weight sensors, and belt buckle. after that you should be good to go. enjoy not having your air bag light on.

So I replaced the stock 2015 Lancer seat with a Recaro off an earlier model X and I'm getting the airbag service required.
This is probably for the weight sensors.
My question is: the Recaro weighs a good amount more than the Lancer seat. Even if I swap the sensors, I think the ECU will think there's always someone sitting in it. So would I be better off just reprogramming/recalibrating the Recaro sensors?

I know this thread is old, but for visual learners this video linked below (NOT MY VIDEO) was very helpful. I was able to source the 1 watt, 2 ohm resistors he mentions in the video from ebay for a couple bucks.

while attempting to help my friend out with his BRIDE seat install this past weekend, we thought about removing the four weight sensors from the OE rails, placinging them back to back and then creating a clamp as to put pressure on the sensors at all times, then placing the whole thing underneath the passengerside seat and zip tie into place... ( since he did not want to fab up a bracket to use with the bride rails.. )
has anyone else thought of doing this?
the sensors are free floating inbetween the aluminum housing, by placing the clamp over the rounded sensor, it could fake a weight (depending on how thick the metal grey bracket is and how much you tighten the two side bolts down to...
have not yet attempted this, but we will soon..

I ended up doing something like what Chebosto diagramed but figured I could only do 1 sensor. I soldered the signal wires for all 4 inputs on the harness onto one lead from a single sensor and made an adapter plate. I tightened the center nut snug and for airbag off, it's about 1/8th of a turn on each bolt or about 1/4 turn to have the airbags always on. It's pretty sensitive so don't overtighten or they'll think you have an elephant in the seat and it'll trigger the SRS again.
