Will 2006 leather seats go into a 2008? Is there a difference. In air bags?

    Hi. I’m looking to buy some gray leather seats out of an 06 Prius. Will they fit my 08? Will I get an airbag fault or warning?
    Thanks in advance.

    That is what I am hoping for. I’ll report back if I have any issues.

    So the answer is YES. The connectors are the same for airbags and passenger detection and also if your seatbelt is fastened. Disconnected rear 12volt battery and waited 20 mins. Four bolts removed. Old cloth seats from a 2008 out... new leather seats from a 2006 installed 4 bolts back in and tightened to spec. Good to go and they look great and smell better than my sweaty old cloth seats.
    I hope this helps somebody else. Now to do the rear seats......
