There's extra wiring on the passenger seat I believe for the sensor that says if the seat is occupied, I don't think the drivers side has this as I guess it's assumed if the car is moving then there's a driver in the seat, so LHD passenger seat won't be a direct fitment for a RHD drivers electrically.

I was considering buying some seats myself from Germany but got lucky with a pair in the UK just before Xmas that's how I found this out.

On my car both passenger and driver seats have occupancy sensors. I found this out when I put a heavy bag on the passenger seat and couldn’t work out why I was getting the warning pings for not having seatbelt on. It took me a while to figure out it was the passenger seat seatbelt warning and not the driver. If this is the case then I don’t see why European models would not also have driver and passenger seat sensors.
