997 Seats in a 996 ?
Has anyone ever successfully resolved the seatbelt connector issues ?? as the mounting 997 brackets are an exact fit in the 996

I've had the 997 GT3 seats in my car for 3 years now. I still have an airbag light but have been very lazy about trying to fix it. I did change the seatbelt buckle but it didn't change anything.

Either way the seats are great.

Use 997's seat belt buckles. Hide 996's belt buckle under the seat and keep wires connected....

I had the buckles swapped. Light stayed on but after disconnecting the battery a few times it's been gone. I have 997 sport seats in mine.

Pete, can you clarify how you can have 2 buckles at the same time, there is only one mount? Also, which wires are you refering to?

My friend's 996 turbo with 997 GT2 seats, 997 seat belt buckles. 996 buckle under the driver's seat, it's wires attached to car's wiring loom/plug under the seat. No warnings whatsoever.
Temporarily now, before finding out a neat electronic solution.

& to be honest I have just gone from YES I want to do this, to NO I don't, alternatively has anybody installed 997 GT2 reclinable seats, regardless of the cost, as I am concerned my FAT *** won't fit in these :::::::::::::::::::

I'm about to get a set of the Gt3rs sport seats exactly like landjet's. I've been told they are the most comfortable.

they offer real good bolster support and resolved the back pain i got from the 996tt standard seats

cars gone now.. so just memories for me

scroll down this thread for pics

On my old 996, I installed a pair of 997 seats. You can use the 996 receptacles and you won't get an airbag light. Make sure your battery is unplugged when dismounting and mounting the new seats, otherwise you will get a light
