What car?
Where car did the seat come from?
Was that seat option offered in that car?

If the car was mine, I would install the seat 'minus' the seat control module and use the original so the car has the same configuration.

I would also use the original seat control module.
However, this may not work with a different seat ocupancy presure sensor.
These are factory calabrated to the control module, it may work, but it may not and you may end up with a constant restraints warning.
Even with this I thi k you will find that the replacement seat will need to be from the same model year and with the same seat options as the original to fully work.

Do let us know how you get on.
