Aftermarket seat install help

I'm about to install aftermarket seats into my 13' r58 and I'm doing a jcw Recaro seat clone with my own taste. I'm gonna be adding Recaro and jcw emblems/patches on the seats lolol.
I'm wondering what exactly needs resistors so that I don't have any error lights illuminated anywhere..
do BOTH oem seats have occupancy sensors and airbags ?
aaaand , can i just bolt on the oem seatbelt and ignitor onto the seatbracket and just plug that back in so that the seatbelt retains its firing crash/lock feature? I did that in my r53 and it worked very well but idk about r56/r58..
aaaaaaaaaaaaand for the airbag and occupancy sensor delete , is the thing I linked the correct thing to delete those so I don't have any error lights ???

So I do have these supposed airbag , occupancy delete that literally just plug into the connections but I have serious doubts they'll work....
I also found this plug in one on ebay but wouldn't I need 2x of them ? Or does the driver seat not have an occupancy sensor ??
i am going to have inpa amd ncs expert n stuff because im currently doing custom tuning with lou but if i could simply just plug a delete in and go id rather do that than trying to figure out how to code.
