Default Mysterious unassigned Cable under the seat

Hi everyone
As I was reaching under the driver seat to grab something that fell, I found this cable wrapped up in what seems to be cloth tape, is this something like a sensor for seatbelt pretensioner or could this be the electric lumbar support that isn’t optioned out in my car? I have no idea what it is.

That looks like an explosive device for the side air bag or seatbelt pretensioner I would seek advice from the dealer. If it is , you don't want that flying around the car like a missile when you have an accident .

Be careful poking about with those cables; I was cleaning the interior and moving the seats back and forward, and a first aid kit accidentally slid under and touched the cables. Then, an SRS airbag warning appeared on the dash. I was lucky,I jiggled the cables a bit but had to reset the system with an OBD scanner tool. It's a common issue; there are many YouTube videos on it.
