How to: Install OEM Evolution X RECARO seats

Welcome to another one of my how to's. Today I will be showing you how to install the Evolution X OEM Recaro seats. One way I save money is that I do alot of these installs myself, and try to make the best how to I can so you guys can do the same. With that being said lets get started.

The whole process took about an 1 1/2.

Tools needed:
Socket Wrench
10mm socket
14mm socket
17mm socket
Wire Cutters

First thing is to dissconnect the (-) side of the battery


Second thing is to take the 4 plastic covers on each side of the stock seats off. All you needd to do if pull them off.


Now I started with the passanger side, because 1st you have more room to work with, and 2ed just in case anything went wrong.

Third you need to take your 14mm socket and remove the 4 bolts. To remove the passanger right side rear you will need to take your 17mm socket and remove the seat belt.

Here is the seat belt bolt



Fourth, now you have to disconnect the airbag, and seat belt sensors under the stock seat. Now you will remove the stock seat. Just tilt it sideways an pull out. It is really light.



Fith, now you are at the biggest pain on installing these seats. Removing the seat belt clip on the stock seat and replacing it to the RECAROs. You will need to cut the white clip holding the sensor to the seat. The black sensor is the seat belt 1. You need to cut the wire ties that are holding the other wires together. Where the wire goes through the seat there is going to be a white piece of plastic. Take a pair of needle nose pliers and pull it out. It will break, but its okay, you do not need to use it on the RECAROs The black selt belt sensor is near the yellow plug


Sixth, take the 14mm socket and remove the seat belt clip from the stock seat to the RECARO. When putting it on the RECARO just run the wire in between the rail.


Seventh place the RECARO seat in the car, attach the sensors and bolt it back down. Remember you have to place all 4 bolts own then you can take your 17mm socket and put back the seat belt bracket.


Proceed to do the same excact thing on the drivers side, but there will be no seat belt bracket to take off, you will just need to run the wires for the seat belt clip. Reconnect the (-) side of the battery and you are done.


Note: Your airbag light will come on, you just need to take it to the dealer and have it reset
