15/06/09 06:39 AM15/06/09 06:39 AM #6 I got an airbag error warning and the "transmission not in park" (even though I have a manual) when I did my stereo. Removed the seats with the battery unplugged. Got the warning when I started her back up the first time. Turned it all the way off and then back on and it was all good. Not sure how you will go when driving with all the plugs not hooked up. Will be a sh*t if it chimes at you constantly for not wearing your seat belt.

12/12/09 05:37 AM12/12/09 05:37 AM #9 The 'star' tool you refer to are known as Torx bits.I can't remember the exact size you need for the seat mounts, but you should be able to buy a kit from any reputable hardware store.
