    I removed the 2nd row seats on my 2022 Sienna 8 seat work van and the error popped up right away. After a little searching on YouTube, I came across this video and purchased the required parts and they worked perfectly! Thank you Brad for the amazing product. I highly recommend this to anyone who has the same error! 👌🏻

    These plugs worked perfectly for my 2024 Sienna after removing the middle seats! Brad gives fantastic customer service.....one of the plugs was defective and he sent a replacement BY AIR and it arrived the next day! Thank you so much, Brad! I'm loving the new, larger space thanks to your genius invention! 😁
  • I just bought a 2022 Sienna XSE. I purchased the 2 square dongles and 2 round dongles. When I took the seat cover off it had 3 wires instead of 2. I used the dongles on the 2 connectors that were yellow, one round one square. Left the 3rd one empty that was white. It worked great, no error light ! I left the rails in covered it with with an old dog bed to protect the lose wire ends. And then covered it with a rubber liner. Thanks Brad for this product.

    Brad, you're a legend. Thanks for this video and for making a solution available, and thanks for cancelling my order when I requested you to do so. You're exactly the kind of person I like seeing do well on the internet.

    Welp, the 2021 Sienna's back on my purchase list. I thought I was going to have to go with a 2019 or 2020 for my build. THANK YOU Brad for figuring this out and sharing your solution!
  • @dbracin
    Just received the two dongles for the 2022 and it worked perfectly! Thanks Brad for your effort in making these!
  • Hi Brad, I ordered the product last week for my toyota sienna 8 seat xle model car. my vehicle has one yellow connector per seat. so a total of two yellow connectors. so I ordered two dongles. I read 150 comments in your video one by one to understand how to do it. In the end, I put the product in my car as you described, albeit with fear. and it worked. The airbag problem is gone from my screen. Thank you so much for developing such a great product. 👍👏😍

    OMG Brad I'm getting my 2024 Sienna next month, I just heard the 2nd row seats were non-removable. So glad to have found your channel, I'm going to try this out. And it looks so easy. Definitely a new subscriber.

    You are the miracle solution that people pray to find when they come to youtube with a problem, Brad. You are a genius and a life saver. Thank you.
  • @ellenziegler2369
    Thank you! I bought my 2023 Sienna trusting that the seat removal and dongles would make it usable for my needs. I was a bit skeptical about my ability to remove the seats and order the correct parts. You made it all very doable. I am up and running without mid seats!

    Brad, thank you for your videos, we just removed the twin middle seats from our Sienna 2021 and used the pin for the airbag system. Worked like magic!

    Brad-You are an Engineering DIY Rockstar! Keep up the Sienna hacks!
  • Genius! I just purchased one. Before finding this follow-up video, I was pretty mad about the whole situation; constant error messages is a deal-breaker. Anyway, thank you!
  • @tennekun
    Wow! Best example of how People can benefit from Youtube. Thank you Brad! Now I'm reconsidering to buy latest Sienna. Toyota, you have to appreciate Brad's work. :)

    Hey Brad! Thanks so much for the rush on the airbag override part! After taking my Toyota for service and realizing they tossed the first one I bought, I was super stressed out to get my build done in time for my first trip next week. Super appreciate getting this little piece in time to finish up and get everything installed before the trip. Thanks for all you do! Cheers from Canada!!

    Well done Brad. It’s October 2022 and your video remains relevant! Thank you from San Diego 🇺🇸
  • @Algorerythm
    For anyone that has a 2023. I had to buy both round and square and match it to the yellow. Thanks again Brad.!!
  • @user-ye3rj6fw5z
    I just got mine - They fit like a glove! (2023 Toyota Sienna XLE) - THANK YOU BRAD for solving the problem. Don't get me started on Toyota.

    Absolutely fabulous videos showing and explaining the removal of 2nd row seats in a 4th generation Sienna! Some of the most clear and logical instructional videos I’ve ever seen - WELL DONE, BRAD!!! In your videos you mentioned that it’s a bit more difficult to remove the 2nd row seat rail carriages (but you didn’t say it is impossible). Have you done this and made an instructional video for it? I really need them out of the way for the flattest floor possible.
