bump... (also curious)
--------
I, Stephen Murphy, can neither confirm nor deny the validity of this post. If you have any questions, I plead the 5th. Thank you.
Changes all the time...
95 was unique, DERM instead of SDM. Different sensors and all... sure it LOOKED the same... lol
96 switched to the SDM. It records all sorts of stuff from the car... when you crash, it remembers the last 5 seconds of data, for retreival later on. A black box of sorts.
Driver's side airbag is the same 96-99. Same with 00-02. And again 03-05. Can't interchange other years unless you change the clock spring (the plug is different).
Passenger airbag same thing... 96-99 same. 00-05 I *THINK* were the same plug. Might be wrong on that.
Airbag module (under passenger seat).. is the same for 96 & 97... same 98 & 99.. 00 is a unique year. 01 & 02 same. Not sure on 03-05, but I suspect they're all the same. There is different modules for basic airbags, and those with side bags (in the seats).
Front crash sensor is the same 96-05. 03-05 has more sensors (the white long thing on the sides of the front frame rails, and in the rear I think too... not sure on that.)
So the answer is... no.

no, but for diabling and basic install purposes, yes.
