Changing seats

I've got myself some new seats and just wondering how easy it is to change over, ie air bag etc.
Is there any body that has done this??

Did you buy Ali's GTD seats mate
if so I have the exact same seats and its just a simple swap of the airbag plugs. Unless your wanting to get the heating part sorted??? if so then its going to be a bit more involved but not a problem.

Yes I did mate, do you need to disconnect the battery to chance the fronts for the air bags in the seats?.

Don't think you do, the airbag light may come on the dash afterwards, but it should go off if you stick the VCD on it.

I think I'll disconnect the battery to be on the safe side, hopefully the air bag light won't come on when I'm done.
