swapping electric seats

genpk · 26th February 2017, 10:55

I have retro fitted electric memory seats with heating to my ZT but wondering if I can swap over an electric seat with heating with and electric seat with heating and memory.
Basically the spare car I have has a nice condition electric drivers seat with heating but no memory.
The one I want to swap out has the memory function on it.
I know Id need t o change the plastic side trim to accommodate the memory but is it just a matter of swapping the plastic valance over with the memory switch ? or is there more mechanics to it ?

yep,
all the motors and wiring needs to be swapped over. Not too bad of a job though!

Haven't done a how-to have you?
This has been on my list as long as I have had the car. I have a donor car with memory / heated seats but have no idea what to do about the wiring / changing the fascia with the switch or the side bit with the memory buttons etc. etc.
