Seatbelt light blinking after racing seat install.

[Shifty]

Installed racing seats. Had Bimmer-Remote code out the airbag and seatbelt light for me after install. Wish I was knew this before install, but after coding the seat belt light just blinks (see video). I asked if there is a way to eliminate this and he said I need a “dummy plug” and he doesn’t know where to get one in the US. Any help would be appreciated on where to get this dummy plug or another way to eliminate that light.

Wait so do I just plug in that yellow harness even though I’m not using it?

Looking through your threads. All I see that’s seat related is the one with bimmergeeks. Unfortunately I’m on an iPhone.

You take your oem seat belt recepticle. It has a cable attached to it. You take the cable and you plug it into the OEM spot within the yellow connector below the seat.

Then you will need to have the codes cleared.

Then light is gone.


Do I need to break it down more?

So I left the yellow harness under the stock seat still attached to it. Guess I gotta figure out how to remove it without screwing up the wires.

No, the male part of the harness comes out of the floor. You plug it into that.

I appreciate you.

You can also find spare OEM belt receptacles on Ebay for $50 or under. I have bought a couple from there. Basically the same part since like 2016 or something on all bmws. I bought two from an X3.

Cool, then all you need to do is connect it to the far side black plug on the yellow harness.

I also went through the exact same issue and after plugging in the seat belt wire Bimmer Remote was able to code out the seat belt light.
