Default 95-96 XJR - airbags in front seats?

Hi all,

I came across this 95 or 96 XJR in a local yard and would like to retrofit the front/rear seats into my 84 XJ6.

Did these models come with airbags IN the front seats? If so, I won't be able to purchase them for liability reasons.

The 95 -96 years is where they introduced the airbags noted by the SRS label above the glove compartment

The airbag system was added by noting yellow colored wire conduits , you can peek at the very front grill inboard and center of the headlights to see the impact sensors with the yellow conduit ( there are also 2 other square sensors in the area related to headlights ) . also above the engine ECU going up along the cars far right wall is airbag system component added

You should be able to slightly lift real wood panel above glove box containing passenger air bag , it shouldn't blow

Ensure it has a XJR specific engine ECU located on the cars far right near the right front door hinge under a small cover , would be hard to find but Andy ( XJREngineer ) on the original Jaguar X300 engine design team may be able to upgrade a common non - supercharged into a supercharged ECU , same hardware and internals just different data maps to swap . He has 2 XJRs to extract data maps and test updated ECU on as sure done before

Xj 1995 - 1997 (from 720125 To 812255) (x300) Classic / Electronic Control Module-4.0 Litre Supercharged (4.0 Litre Supercharged) | Jaguar Land Rover Classic Parts

Ensure fuel injectors installed as the supercharged are different

Ensure has mass air flow sensor correct # as different than normally aspirated

Xj 1995 - 1997 (from 720125 To 812255) (x300) Classic / Air Box-air Flow Meter-4.0 Litre Supercharged (4.0 Litre Supercharged) | Jaguar Land Rover Classic Parts

Inspect #s closely as the numbers are close

Inspect washer fluid reservoir for cracks / curb damage before installing bumper

While rear seat pan up check with common meter the rear wheel speed sensors ( 1300 ohms ) ( about 1 volt AC spinning by hand the rear wheel in the correct direction ) and the terminal nuts under a black triangle on the cars right ( mega fuses )

No Airbags in the seats. Only 2 Airbags - in the steering wheel and in the passenger side dash.
