I think if you do more searching you may find your answer.... I thought there was a way to manually re-set this...

Take it to another dealership and make sure he's not BSing you and also do some more searching.... I swear I read something about this once. Maybe check Clubrsx

i would assume the entire interior, including seats.

i dont think recovering the seats in a new material would cause a need for a new module.

never heard of this module $500 something thats crazy. the only thing for the seats that cost that much are the rails. even the airbags arent that expensive. there is something called an opds unit i see on the parts list dunno what that is for. also i dont see why swapping seats would be a prob. there are people on here who have swapped their seats outta another car.

i dunno how the models are but does your car originally come with side airbags? and did the car you got the seats from come with them? that could possibly be a prob if so.

well im gonna guess its one of your connections. since you swapped the whole interior you are gonna have to check all the connections. check the 4 connections under each seat. check the srs unit in the center console. also a big and overlooked one check the passenger airbag dash light.

if any of those are disconnected the light will come on
