How much does a dealer charge to do this :/

Just keep trying man... took me 3 days the first time I tried. You have to be precise AF.

This is kicking my *** lol. I'm scared that maybe the behavior changed in '17, because the poster above gets to the same point I did.

You know what's really frustrating is that while I still had the flashing air bag light I had to pull my head unit to install wiring for gauges and when I re-installed the head unit, the light went out on it's own. Unfortunately, I had to pull the head unit again and when I re-installed it, the light came back on. I tried dozens of times to do the reset but it didn't work. Also, even if I got it to go out I was going to be installing an aftermarket seat and knew it would come back on again. That's when I said screw it and pulled the led.

I installed Sparcos in mine, and ordered an air bag emulator from www.airbag360.com . Plugs right into the seat occupancy sensor. The connectors are fragile so be gentle with it but I've had no complaints - or air bag lights.

I purchased this as well. Have been through this reset at least 10 times. I can not get the light to stay off.

BettyZ · 03-19-2019, 06:01 AM

Also, you all know that the way to prevent this from happening is to never turn the power on if the airbag light is disconnected, yes?

Yeah, this is why mine is coming on. I didn't know that before I did it

Worked perfect! Thanks!

March 2020 19 still work thanks man.

gr8-wrx · 03-26-2021, 11:35 AM

Still worked for me this morning! Thanks so much!

I really want to see someone with a '17+ get this to work. Mine is still blinking. There is a shop in town who offered to reset it until I told him I had been doing a lot behind the dash. He wants to inspect the airbag system to be sure before he resets the light for liability reasons, which sounds reasonable to me. He said it could be up to $100, which I'm about to pay because this is bugging tf out of me
