Default seat replacement question

I recently purchased a 2003 Z06. I'm going through the typical upgrade punch list. I knew when I bought the car it needed a new driver's seat. After some research I bought a Corbeau evolution X and installed it without too much trouble. I really like the seat and will soon put one on the passenger side too. My question is how do you, or can you, avoid getting the trouble codes for the seat with an aftermarket setup? I took out the old seat computer and plugged it in and left all the various harnesses plugged in to it. That was recommended on an installation guide I saw somewhere.

Sorry if it's been covered already, I couldn't find it. Just curious to see what others have done as far as aftermarket seat install when it come to electronics. Thanks.

What codes are you getting? The seat belt has a wire attached to it but I didn't think the C5's had code issues with a seat change.

Any pictures of you seat install?

I'm getting three codes under A6-SCM (Seat Control Module)
B2606 HC Seat horizontal position sensor failure
B2607 HC Seat rear vertical postion sensor failure
B2695 HC ??? can't find that one but it's in the same (SCM) category.

The codes are just annoying is all, I'd like to keep them from coming up if I can. I did not plug the sear belt wiring harness back in and haven't had any seat belt warnings or lights - doesn't seem to be an issue.

I'll try to post some pictures when I get a chance, although I didn't do any step by step it will just be the finished product. I was too anxious to get it in, should have though. Thanks.
