Just installed my avic-d3 and haven't touched one airbag wire, yet my airbag light still stays on for some reason?

did you unplug anything without disconnecting the battery first?

short of going to the dealer, try resetting it, battery off for 10 minutes, and or locating the reset/code switch for that system

This happened to me too. Dont' know if you have the same problem but here's what my problem was. When I tapped into the vss wire behind the instrument cluster, I didn't plug in a plug in all the way. this also caused my alternator to not get a reading from the ecu which drained my battery. After plugging everything back in, airbag light is off and alternator working perfectly. Try plugging in everything completely that you took off. This was my problem. If it's not yours good luck to you.
