How To Install Audi S3 Wingback Seats for the Audi R8 - Part 1

Another dream mod unlocked! This time we're going to figure out how to install Audi's Wingback seats that were only available outside of North America. These wingback seats are essentially Recaro Sportster CS seats made for Audi cars specifically.
Part 1 tackles installing and wiring up the Driver's side seat (left side).

One question mate, I've seen a lot that people comment as you mentioned that you have to remove the occupancy sensor and reinstall it in the new seat, in this case, putting a resistor directly to the r8 connector doesn't work?. I'm struggling to leave the same seats in my car without any light on, in this case, because I haven't done the occupancy sensor transferring process yet

A simple resistor will not work because the modules expect a digital signal and not an analog signal.
