Hey guys, I’m getting a passenger side occupancy error code which is throwing the airbag light. Shall I replace it with a new occupancy mat on my passenger side CSL seat or get a bypass thing from eBay?

Another option is turning it off via codingIG: @limited.slip

Same thing happened on my car and I disabled the occupancy sensor via coding. As far as I know, if the sensor is disabled, then the passenger airbag will go off regardless of whether someone is sitting in that seat or not.2002 Topasblau M3 - Coupe - 6MT - Karbonius CSL Airbox - MSS54HP Conversion - Kassel MAP - SSV1 - HJS - PCS Tune - Beisan - MK60 Swap - ZCP Rack - Nogaros - AutoSolutions - 996 Brembos - Slon - CMP - VinceBar - Koni - Eibach - BlueBus - Journal

Were you able to solve your issue with a new sensor?
I recently had heated seat mats retrofitted to my car (used all factory parts) but after my upholsterer finished his work, I'm throwing a passenger side occupancy sensor code and airbag light.
I need to take a look under the seat to make sure everything is plugged in properly, but do you know what part number you ordered?
I attached the parts diagram from RealOEM.

unplug and code it off.
The function of the sensor is to make it so the passenger air bag does not go off in a crash if nobody is in the passenger seat, lowering repair costs, lowering insurance rates. It's not something insurance companies ask about, so you can nix it and be fine-- still get the upside of lower rates, not have to replace the most failure prone sensor on the interior, and no insurance fraud committed.
