Fantastic Bry5on. Since you're the same exact size as me and I plan on moving towards the CS shortly, I'll be utilizing this custom bracket if/when you make it available! Great work man.

I would like to test these out sometime. Looks really compact and streamlined.

will there be any sensor faults in the seats that we need to program out? if i were to get CS's i would intend on having the passenger seat sensor installed. etc.

I wired a resistor in so that the passenger airbags will always trigger, then ended up coding it to the same behavior anyway, just to take the guesswork out. Retrofitting the sensor into the CS looked like it could have been tricky and unreliable, so I opted to just always trigger the airbag and delete the sensor. No faults.

has anyone been successful at wiring the recaro heaters with the OEM harness? i know some vendors make a plug and play retrofit, but was wondering if there was a DIY out there.

They won’t work properly, the electrical impedance is fundamentally incorrect. I retrofitted mine with e39 heated seat elements for factory like operation (OEM button) and quick heating. Prior to that I’d attempted to use the recaro/aftermarket style heaters.
