Flashing Airbag Light After HU Install

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.
