    P38 Underseat connectors

    Never saw what an airbag connector looks like. I can’t help you any further, sorry. Have you considered that maybe the previous owner has swapped a pre 1999 seat for a later one with leather in better shape (fitted with airbag)? Have you got a small airbag label on the side of your leather...
