Has anyone swapped early V70 seats into a later V70.
Obviously the seats are a direct swap, but the early ones don't have SIPS and this will put the airbag light on.
Is there a way to wire the car harness to fool the system ?

On my old vectra you could buy a resistor direct from recaro so I'm sure something could be knocked up for the Volvo , wouldn't like to be the one to try it though !

Dunno mate, I played it safe and got some P2 leather seats and pulled the power for a few hours before starting work.

55.50 for the lot - worth playing it safe. If you trigger the srs warning, it wont go away and Volvo charge a fortune to reset it.
Keep us posted mate. Really interested in weather or not its possible :)
