What is the roll of blue connectors in dual stage airbag?

Hi guys.
I just received the m sport wheels from ebay for my 2014 f10 520d with dual stage airbag.

But I found the airbag doesn't have blue connectors I point out in circle.

(I don't know how to attach photos so that I make a line as above)

has only 2 connetors coming out from the center of the airbag.

Do you guys know if it's OK to just install this without blue connectors or not?

Does error come out?

The picture doesn't open, I don't read Korean so I don't know why.
As far as the connector goes, I would say yes it will error.
Are you sure it is a two stage you need? I was under the impression Europe uses a single stage.
Either way you are better off finding the right one.

I swapped my dual-stage airbag into the single-stage cover that came with the steering wheel I got from Lithuanian.

As far as I know, the first picture is a dual-stage airbag and the second is a single stage. They are not compatible.

Thanks for your comment ezaircon4jc!

But the seller said that it's dual stage airbag as written in the second link.
What do you think?

Since it's (the 2nd one) coming from Europe I HIGHLY suspect it is single-stage even though it has a 1 & 2 plug. You could get the part number and see what that says.

I believe it is a dual stage without the vent. It will error but you can turn it off via coding
