When I had my 97 M3 my 95 LTW seats with the mechanical tensioners plugged in fine to the body harness
My 98.5 M3 has the side airbags and pyro tensioners, I was in the middle of swapping the pyro tensioners onto my LTW seats because the plug styles on a 98.5 are completely different then a 97 but the pyro tensioner bracket wont sit on the older seat frame nice.
How do mechanical tensioners work? I'm tempted to just put the mechanical tensioners back on the LTW seats and put them in my 98.5 M3 and stare at a airbag light when I drive. I don't understand why the drivers side mechanical tensioner on the LTW seat still has a wire coming out of it also, if they are mechanical. Could doing this be unsafe or make my airbags not work if I got in an accident? Basically the only wire that would plug into my new M3 is the passenger occupancy detector.
