i was just vacuming my fto when i found under the driver seat a male plug hanging down and then a female plug that run up under the carpet to meet the plug hanging down from the seat. It looks like it could be an electrical type plug but im not sure.
As far as i know my seats arnt electric, as in i have to pull the little manual levers to move the chair back,forth, up down and turn the little cog things too..

does anyone else have this? if so what on earth does it do?

yeah they are your eject button's wire, the button is hidden inside the glove box, its use for when you passenger getting sick of your driving ahhhah

Seriously its the seat belt wire, where if you connected it, you dash will tell you if you haven't put your seat belt on.

I always thought these wires were sensors for airbag equiped cars??

well when i hoped in my car last night, i took note when i put on my seat belt about any signals on the dash and nothing came up. then i tested it while i was sitting there and took off my seat belt and still nothing.

maybe it really is a secret ejector seat

come to think of it the bloke who i bought my fto off looked a little like batman... maybe the cape he was wearing was a dead give away

Ohh did I mention it might not work after your FTO seat belt had change to "high quality" Australia standard during compliance. I know it work on few of my mate's FTO (non-members)

My seatbelt light still works... does that mean my seatbelts weren't changed when the car went through compliancing?

No, as i said, some work, some don't. Don't ask me why, since i never bother to find out.
