Well, since my wife has lower back and hip pain that is exacerbated by these seats and since I prefer driving the Type-R when we go out, to me it is a small price to pay for the joy of driving the Type-R. She wouldn't make me change the seat, but she would make us drive a different car.If my wife told me I had to change my passenger seat in my Type-R I would laugh right in her face. Time to download the Uber app I guess.
In the owners manual, it refers to the weight sensors as "in" the front passengers seat.There's more to swapping seats then just plugging connectors in. There are sensors connected to each seat/harness that detect the weight of each seat. That informs the SRS system whether or not there is enough weight in the front seat to active the airbags.
EG: A bag of groceries sitting on your front seat vs a 150lbs adult.
Unless the Civic SI Seats, Base Model Civic Seats, Aftermarket Seat etc.. have the exact same weight of the Type R seat it's replacing, then you will mostly likely throw an error code, or worse, completely disable the entire SRS system due to the weights being off.
Whether or not the actual connecter's "plug into each other" is irrelevant.
