Why don't you wait a week. I'll drive around for a bit to make sure no surprise lights pop up. Couple things to keep in mind though:

1. With this bypass, the car assumes someone is always riding in the passenger side. That means should you be involved in an incident even with nobody riding beside you, the passenger side airbag should/will deploy.

2. Because the car assumes someone is occupying the seat, you will get the seatbelt chime on. Seller provides 2 workarounds, one involves opening up the receptacle. The other is to keep the belt always plugged in. I actually purchased a separate seatbelt extender to use with my Recaro so something's always plugged in.

3. If you already have the airbag light on, this will NOT CLEAR the error. You still need to get the code cleared after you install the bypass module.
