Passenger Occupancy Sensor Mat V3 w/ Dual Toggle | 2015–2021 WRX/STi

V3 allows for OFF / Disconnected/ Armed

Eliminate passenger airbag warning lights caused by seat swaps, aftermarket seats, or a failing OEM occupant detection system with this passenger occupancy sensor harness emulator designed for 2015–2021 Subaru WRX and STi models (and potentially more) equipped with the Denso 5-Pin ODS module.

This unit features an integrated toggle switch, allowing you to manually arm or disarm the passenger airbag when needed. This is useful when transporting children, pets, or inanimate objects, or when running fixed-back or aftermarket seats.

Designed to plug directly into the factory wiring, the emulator replicates the OEM passenger occupancy sensor signal while giving you reliable, user-controlled operation.

Features:

• V3 redesign includes slimmer mounting to accommodate a wider range of seat options. 
• Will require at minimum 1 inch of clearance between the bottom of the seat and your desired mounting location. 
• Integrated toggle switch for passenger airbag control
• Prevents passenger airbag warning lights
• Plug-and-play connection to the factory seat harness
• Designed to be mounted to seat brackets
• Confirmed fitment with Planted seat bracket - Other seat brackets may require drilling a 9mm mounting hole
• Mounts securely using included hardware
• Black zinc finish for corrosion resistance and a clean, stealth look
• High-strength M8 hardware designed for racing seat applications (can also ziptie mount)
• Compact, secure, and easy to install
• Backed by a lifetime warranty

Included Hardware:

• M8 x 1.25 x 25mm bolt or Torx T40 x 1.25 x 25mm
• M8 x 1.25 locking nut

Stock Seats:

This emulator can be used with factory OEM seats to bypass a malfunctioning or damaged passenger occupancy detection (ODS) mat. ODS failures commonly occur over time or due to issues such as water intrusion, wiring damage, or sensor degradation. By bypassing the faulty mat entirely, this unit allows the factory airbag system to function normally without triggering warning lights.

Important Notes:

• Intended for off-road use only

A reliable solution for Subaru enthusiasts running aftermarket seating who want control over passenger airbag behavior without dash warnings.
