Are you having problems or getting warning lights for any of the cars features. Most vehicles have wires installed as a standard wiring harness to include connectors for 'add ons' or Options that are available when bought new. Fitting the same harness on every car is cheaper than building a separate one for each individual vehicle. One thing you could do is to test if the wire has voltage coming through it with the ignition on and off. No power will suggest it's for an option that wasn't fitted.
My friend had a loose wire under the seat of his Porsche that turned out to be for the factory fitted child seat. No kids, No seat so it was left alone.

should be on the side of the seat, sort on the back bottom or up some on the back seat.. or even a strap to pull up to lower the seat..

Your only option is to modify the seat mounting

Press the realese end pull upward on them at the same time,

There is a Pin hole on one side of the headrest in the plastic base. You have someone put a small Allen wrench in the hole till it presses against the metal spring and also on the release on the other side, then pull the headrest out. You will have to press on the spring to put the head rest back in also.

Lift up on the rear seat cushion and fold it towards the front. Now pull the lever and fold the seat down.

I think you have to remove headrst bfore folding seat back down. You may have to unbolt seat from floor. 4 bolts.
