Default Removing electrical seats: will this make the computer unhappy?

I know the seats are wired into the computer. If we remove our stock seats for mechanical Recaros, what's the computer going to think/say/do? Anyone have a clue? Any advice about what sort of golf tee or cork to shove into all those connectors?

If you have Airbags in the seats, you will have airbag light on all the time.

I guess there is a way to turn airbags off??

NOt sure though.

Default Disconnecting memory seats will likely throw a non-critical DTC. Plug a resistor into airbag switch

so the dash light won't go on.

Default Or just take the bulb out of the instrument cluster

Then you won't have to see it on....it's either that or try and figure out how to fool the computer with a resistor.....
