Did the 15mm bolts line up once you drilled the holes? How did the USB/Cig Lighter project work out? Thanks for the great details.

Thanks. So it looks like there were two versions, one with the sensor and one without. I purchased the wrong SDM (13507217) which was meant for a system with the passenger presence system and over head air bags. I am trying a different SDM (13507221) which is meant for a truck without the overhead airbags. Hoping this will work and the on-off switch will work.

Great post. I have a 2017 Silverado 3500HD and have 4 kids as well. I've been trying to go the route of installing an airbag shut off switch but I'm still trying to get that worked out. Swapping the jumpseat to a new 2020 model with the shoulder belt is a great idea. Thanks for the detailed post.

Hey everyone, I have been following this thread. I have a 2017 Chevy Silverado 3500HD LT Crew Cab. I did not have the air bag shut off switch or the indicator. I researched the parts for the switch, indicator, and an SDM module that is used on the regular/double cab (which has the switch). The indicator now works but unfortunately I have the airbag light on. I dropped off my truck at the dealership to have the VIN programmed into the SDM module but they are running into a few issues. I'm pretty sure the regular cab and double cab does not have the passenger sensing system and just utilizes the on-off switch to turn on/off the passenger air bag. I'm thinking of either trying a different place to program the SDM or try plugging in a passenger sense system (seatbelt and passenger seat pressure sensure). We'll see, but I'm bound to make this work. SDM Part #: 13507217 Shut off switch: 22831601 Passenger Airbag status display: 84059831 passenger side panel for shut off switch: 23343670 Brook
