the sensor with the purple is the floor sensor the other one is the sensor coming from the recaro

this is the color of the wires from the floor sensor


the colors of the wires from the sensor from my stock base seat is blue and black.


here is a pic with the recaro installed on the driver side



if any one can tell me what wire i need to splice to take the base sensor and put it on the recaro i will gladly appreciate it
