BMW 5 Series (USA & Canada) Passenger Airbag Seat Mat Occupancy Sensor Emulator

Compatibility:

• Make: BMW (USA & Canada Models)

• Model: 5 Series

• Chassis Codes: E60 (Sedan) / E61 (Touring/Wagon)

Fitment Details

BMW models are identified by internal codes (E, F, and G-codes). This specific emulator is designed for the 3-wire OC3 sensor system found in the following:

• E60 (2005–2010): All Sedan facelift models equipped with the 3-wire sensor.

• E61 (2005–2010): All Estate/Wagon models.

  • Note for 2005 models: Please visually inspect the connector under the seat before purchasing. Early 2005 versions may still use the older 2-wire sensor.

Identification Tip: This emulator is only compatible if your vehicle has a 3-wire sensor with the exact connector and wire colors shown in our product gallery. The connector is located under the passenger seat, secured by a plastic clip.

Features 

• Cost-Effective: Replacing an original seat sensor can cost up to $1,000. 

• Plug & Play: Features an OEM-grade connector for a seamless,  installation.  OBD reader is required to complete the setup and clear existing fault codes

• Racing Ready: The ideal solution when replacing factory chairs with aftermarket racing seats.

• Fully Reversible: Can be removed at any time without leaving permanent modifications.

• Safety Status: Programmed to send a "Seat Occupied" signal. This ensures the airbag remains armed and will deploy in the event of an accident, whether a passenger is present or not.

•  Includes a Seat Belt Simulator to turn off the seat belt warning chime/light.

Important Safety Note

Because this emulator simulates a constant "Occupied" status, the airbag will deploy upon impact. Never place a rear-facing child-safety seat in the front passenger seat while this device is in use
