What Is a Seat Mat Emulator For?

A seat mat emulator serves as a substitution for the factory-issued occupancy mat that comes standard with most factory model cars. Rather than driving with airbag and seat belt warning lights on when this mat malfunctions, the emulator will treat the seats in your car as if they are actually occupied by an adult, no matter who or what is sitting there.

We recommend using a replacement mat from the manufacturer of your car if your current mat is defective, but we recognise that this isn't always possible or practical. Our product is a fine choice especially if your vehicle has been modified such that the original seat occupancy mat doesn't work right.

Don`t make a mistake

Please note that today available seat mat emulators will only correct problems related to the seat occupancy sensor. You should perform a full diagnostic before using our product to make sure that it's actually the seat occupancy mat that's not working right. Issues with your belt tensioner, ignition circuit, firing circuit, drivers restrain, or airbag deployment equipment won't be resolved merely by installing our product to your car. Though it would be nice if our device could correct all kinds of unrelated faults, this is sadly not the case.

Why does your car have an occupancy mat?

Airbags, while valuable, aren't infallible. When deployed at full speed, they can cause fatal injuries to children and small adults, usually less than 30kg in weight, who are present in the passenger seat when an accident occurs. In order to prevent fatal injury, car manufacturers now install seat occupancy mats within car seat cushions. An occupant recognition sensor detects the pressure caused by the weight and controls weather the airbag should be deployed at full speed, partial speed, or not at all.

IMPORTANT: NEVER PLACE AN INFANT IN A REAR-FACING CHILD SEAT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WHILE USING OUR PRODUCT.

Even with the original seat occupancy mat installed, an infant should be restrained in a rear-facing, reclining child seat that is properly secured in a rear passenger seat. Once the seat mat emulator is installed, you cannot put a rear-facing, reclining child seat in the front passenger seat because the passenger airbag is constantly enabled and will deploy at full speed regardless of whether or not a passenger is present.

Legal agreement

The buyer is responsible for any consequences resulting from the use of the seat mat emulator. If you allow people to drive your vehicle while the emulator is installed, it is up to you to inform them of it and instruct them on any precautions they need to follow. For a fully functional system, you should obtain original parts from the manufacturer of your car and have them installed by the dealership or factory-authorised personnel.

Installation Guidelines and Instructions

for BMW made until September 2005

Proper installation is an important part of efficient functionality. We realise that not all customers will be well versed in the inner workings of their cars, which is why we strive to provide products that are easy to use, install, and enjoy. Please follow all directions fully for best results.

1. Instalment Preparations

The ignition must remain switched off throughout installation. Do not attempt to use the radio or air conditioning while installing the device.

Move the passenger seat all the way up and lean the seat fully forward or backward, depending on vehicle make and model, to gain best access to the seat mat connector.

2. Car Wiring

Please review the wiring colours used in your car to ensure you are connecting the seat mat emulator in the correct location. BMW cars until model year 2005 feature the same wiring colours: white, blue wires correspond with the seat occupancy mat. The occupancy mat connector is connected to the black, seat mat control box. The seat mat control box is clipped to the seat cushion at the rear of the seat. For better access, the control box can be twisted and unclipped from its original location. The seat occupancy mat wire (1). In this model the seat mat control box is hidden under the steel plate (2).

Troubleshooting

If installation is successful, your car should continue to function like normal. However, if issues persist, there are additional troubleshooting measures that can help your car get back on track.

  • If the SRS/Airbag light is still lit after the emulator is correctly installed, check for other diagnostic errors. The emulator cannot fix unrelated faults, such as those affecting the ignition circuit, belt tensioner driver, airbag stage et cetera. If there are other faults causing the errors to persist, please take your car to a certified mechanic.
  • If the airbag light returns after days, weeks, or months of error-free use, please clean all connections under the passenger, and driver seats using a contact cleaner. Over time, oxidation causes connections to lose conductivity, causing bad signal throughput. This can be enough to trigger a fault code.
An airbag light cannot be removed:
  • If the seat occupancy mat is not fixed for prolonged periods of time, the error is stored in a footwell module. In this case, specific BMW diagnostics are required in order to erase the fault.
