    It's taken me a while to find the hood I'm getting for my E46 M3. Ordering the AF-2 hood before next summer. Can't stand the usual GTR vented hood, looks too aggressive, especially on a convertible.

    I remember seeing options to configure the Occupant Detection Computer within TechStream... You may want to explore that before spending a ton of money on a 12¢ resistor.

    He stopped responding to the OCS module emails that I sent his way. I think he belongs to some automotive groups that I have friends in and it looks like he's really focused on the track/racing side of things these days. No more toyota/scion/lexus OCS/airbag foolery.

    Anyone have a picture of the drivers side airbag connectors rigged with resistors? Trying to figure out how to do this. This is what I have under the seat. Have heard of people doing this but cant seem to find a detailed writeup with pictures here

    I think @nudavinci64 did something similar recently for his cool powered Audi seats. @Athlaos didn't you retro some non-toyota powered seats into your truck too?

    The readings are not super accurate. Bring the gun closer to the manifold and the vents to get the closer to actual readings because distance skews the readings.

    This is a mod I still want to do to mine. Part of me doesn't want to dice up the hood more than I already have for my aerolatches, and the other part of me wants to, but can't find good vents that would flow well with the Sport style hood.

    I've tried reaching out to him several times, with no response. I pinched and bolted the sensors together with good results.

    This is only to calibrate the sensors for initial seat weight. No real changing of parameters to be had. I have tried. Sensors send back a 0-5V volts depending upon loads on the strain gauges. Also, should have a timer on the signal so the signal doesn't change too quickly.

    It would be hotter of course but it's accurate enough to show you guys it makes a difference adding holes to your car.

    pretty much what I did but didn’t have or know how to test and need to go back and get the OCS to work. No airbag errors but it’s not ON with a passenger. Need to reread your response on how you tested it.
