Looking 4 help w/ seatbelt light passenger seat

[ern-diz]

Hello hayrider - I purchased one of the occupancy sensor bypass modules you're referring to from super user CTScott. I replaced my factory seats for a set of sparco's and wanted an elegant solution for the passenger airbag/seatbelt situation.

The bypass module comes with a switch that you can install on a dead panel. The switch allows you to turn the passenger airbag and seatbelt on when someone is riding in the passenger seat and off when empty. It's a fantastic little device that works with many different Toyotas due to Toyota using the same SRS module in a variety of models.

As a first step, I'd reach out to CTScott with a private message here on the forum, as you might be able to score one from him shipped for less than the vendors he provides them to online. He's super busy, as you would imagine for someone so talented, so if that doesn't get you anywhere, you can purchase the module at retail price here.

Hope it helps and make sure to follow-up with pics of those new seats once you get them in.

Edit: I looked closer at the website I linked you to and unfortunately, it says they are not accepting new orders for that item and aren't sure when it will be back in stock, if at all. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you being able to get in touch with CTScott about purchasing one directly from him.

First and foremost Thanks guys!

2nd. For some reason I’m not getting notifications from here, is there something I can do to get notifications? Newbie here...

3rd. Thanks for the link and yes I see where the 4x4 shop isn’t taking orders.

4th. Makes me nervous about contacting someone I don’t know but more importantly how’s or what is Mr. CTScott going to think about someone (Newbie) he doesn’t really know contacting him?... Hopefully he will help me out.
We also have a 07 Mazda MX-5 that I’ve tried many suspension mods on/tried different setups and then post my opinion on. I purchased a professional spring compressor and now do some side work for anyone willing to bring me their car.
I don’t know anything about Yaris suspension but I’m guessing they have front McPherson strut? If so anyone wanting to bring their strut’s or coilover’s over can use the spring compressor. It’s just mounted to the wall in the garage collecting dust. Just an offer to help you guys out being you all are helping me.

I don't think it would be a problem because it's a direct message here on the forum; you're not contacting him at his home number during dinner

That being said, just about an hour ago, he posted a reply in a thread he started in the for sale section about some leftover Yaris parts he's selling. Maybe you'll feel more comfortable dropping a post there asking if he still has any of the bypass modules?
