Hey all, I have searched the forums far and wide until my eyes are bleeding and can't find what I am looking for. Just bought this 2022 Big Horn, and it does not have lumbar on the passenger side. After searching this forum for seat swaps, all the threads I find said this should be a plug and play swap. I bought a set of 2022 Laramie front seats and it is indeed a plug and play swap. Both front seats, all the seat functions work exactly as designed, up, down, forward, back, recline both directions and heat and lumbar work perfect. I wasn't really caring about the ventilation function, so I wasn't concerned about getting the computer flashed to enable that function thru the head unit. The only drawback I have is when I start the truck, the info screen pops up a message saying the "airbag system needs service" and then the airbag little light stays on. It also try's to make an emergency phone call and fails on that. I have double and triple checked all the connections under the seat and disconnected both batteries with no change. Does anyone have any idea what needs to be done? Is it a must that I take it to Dodge and have them burn me for flashing the computer?? I appreciate any help you all could provide.

Hey I am wanting to do a seat swap in the future and was researching this. From what I understand the airbags in the seat should stay with the vehicle. This means that you will need to open the seats up and swap the airbags out. Again, I have not done this but this is the info I came across. Hope it helps you.
I never did get any answers. I ended up swapping the seats back. The Big Horn seats did not come with an electrical plug for the passenger seat buckle assembly by design, but the Laramie seats did. I had taken the airbags from the original seats and put them into the Laramie seats. Only code it was throwing was saying that the passenger buckle was incorrect. I got tired of screwing with it.
