Changed Climate Display/Controls, Airbag light is now on?

[CookieRoe]

Change my HVAC display today. I have a 2005 Limited. I purchased another one from a 2003 Limited and now my airbag light is on (on the dashboard). From what I understand, they are the same thing. Anyway, I changed it b/c I installed a factory NAV. FYI: The radio bezel and the climate control display plastic moldings are different (Single CD/NAV vs. JBL In-DashCD changer).

Any insight would be appreciated. :hatsoff:

Damnit, oh well

OK, I'm going to answer my own question:

Apparently there ARE differences in airbags between the 2003 and 2005 model year 4Runner. This is most likely why my airbag light is on. Looks like I may have to "perform" surgery by gutting the board (screen)/plug form my original to the "new" HVAC assembly.
