    Hey...
    Just swapped in some 2014 Camry LE sport seats to replace my 2007 TRD Sport buckets which
    were beat. Moved the seat harnesses and seat belt buckles over from old seats to new. Drivers
    seat was simple - Added power (new Drivers seat is power and SWEET!), swapped seat belt buckle / harness and brought over slide rail position sensor - tie wrapping it so that metal was in the sensor path - check - easy drivers seat swap - no issues.

    Passenger seat = not so easy. I should note that the occupancy sensor setup on the 2014 Camry is very different then my 07 taco. I brought the passenger seat belt buckle and harness
    over to the new seat - no issue. My 07 passenger seat occupancy harness connects to the control module / computer - then to 4 sensors. These sensors are pretty integrated into the seat rail system and apparently not easy to remove. The new Camry seat has a computer - but uses a different system of sensors (only 2 on the rail system - not 4 like my Taco).

    I need my passenger airbag functional as it would be had I not swapped seats - anyone encounter this and figure out a fix? . I am guessing I can rip the four sensors out of my tacoma passenger seat and rig them to be happy if need be - is there a simpler way. Sorry for the length of this...wanted to make sure all the details were there. Thanks in advance for help

    It’s been 6 years since this was posted with no replies, but I found myself on your post trying to correct this exact same issue (besides my seatbelt bolts)
    So did you ever solve this puzzle? If so, any advice would be greatly appreciated. Images of thats possible.
