Are 2000 Nissan Altima airbags compatible with a 2002 Nissan Altima?

Answer 1

No, they are not compatible. The Altima completely changed its body style starting in 2002. If you want to match up an airbag with a newer or older Nissan, take these steps. First, write down your vehicle VIN number located beneath your windshield. Your Vin number provides a Nissan dealership with the required parts for that vehicle. Assuming that you pulled off an air bag from a different car, make sure you write down the VIN from the car you took the donor part off of. Call the dealership and have them interchange the to Vin numbers from your vehicle and the donor vehicle. Once they do so, they will tell you whether or not the part in question can function properly in both vehicles OR if they are even compatible. Aside from all this, an airbag from a 2000 altima will NOT work NOR fit into a 2002 Altima because they went to a completely new body style that year.
