I am pretty sure the airbag connectors are different.

Just cut and solder from your existing seats

I swapped out my heavy ass leather interior for some seats out of a 1.6 vw bora. Straight swap with no issues months later, just remember to disconnect the battery for 15mins BEFORE you unplug them. Also make sure you connect both seat before you reconnect the battery. If not an airbag code will be thrown and light will come on dash.
