I haven't gone back yet. Found out the part i most likely need is color specific for the interior (black) and my old ones are grey on the grey seats do they would do me no good. 
if I find some junk wheels to put on it to get the team dynamics off before the weekend, I'll grab it for u bigtuna.
Kl2onik... Yeah bro... I don't know wtf is up with the extra lights. None were on when I got there and all of them were on when I left. And must have something to do with the seats too in some way. Does your base CTS have black seat belts/buckles?? If so, I may need the buckle off both seats that come with the part shown in the video stone posted. How much for them?
Thanks stone for the vids!!

Also something to think about, not many people know this. I'm certified porsche/audi tech btw, When you unplug the airbag connectors on OBDII or later vech's, they store it as a fault, and need to be cleared with a scanner... Its nothing wrong, its just a safety issue. Also if it was infact in a cash, and the airbags were deployed, more then likely the safety belt was locked up as well, if the seatbelt has a ignitior in it, it will more then likely need to be replaced as well.

I swapped the interior in my old V and didn't have any issues. Didn't even disconnect the battery. Just unbolted and unplugged everything and bolted and plugged all the new stuff in. Seats I swapped into it weren't from a wrecked car though. This time they were so I'll have the code run and see what it says. There was only one person in the vehicle during the crash so I'm pretty sure it's the drivers side buckle tensioner mechanism that needs to be replaced.
