    Does anyone know how to bypass the OCS for the passenger seat?

    I have a 2006 double cab so I don't have the switch to turn the airbag on and off but that's what I want to do. I'd like to disable to OCS system for the passenger seat and change it to a switch that I can place on the dash. I've traced out the wiring and I know which three wires control it and which ports they correspond to on the occupant classification ECU but I'm not sure how to put a switch in there.

    Has anyone done this or am I going to have to buy the only commercially available one I can find from metaltech4x4? Are there any other companies that make these?

    For what reason and why put your passenger at risk should you screw it up and the bag doesn’t go off in an accident.

    From what I read so far it seems that the airbag is activated if the person is over 100 lbs. If theres a switch to just leave it on if the passenger isnt a child then why not do it? I have leather power seats from a 2015 highlander installed and the connectors dont match up which is why I'm interested.
