jimmy.farrow7 Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Im after swapping my cloth seats for leather seats however at the moment i have standard non electric/non heated seats. If i purchased electic leather seats would these still be able slide forwards and tilt back and forwards without having to wire them up?

Chris141084 Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Yes. That's what I've done with mine. It's really easy to wire the heaters up if you can get hold of the switches and loom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard.hezlett Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 If u buy electric seats u can't move them backwards and forwards manually as standard. Don't know if they can be modified easily. Never heard of anybody doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy.farrow7 Posted August 13, 2016 Author Share Posted August 13, 2016 Would an auto electrician easily be able to connect them up to work? Or is a big job with lots of chopping and cutting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 The wiring is there under the seat, you just need to connect them up and install switches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dicky Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Slightly different request from me. I'm thinking of taking my drivers seat out to see if I can pad the base of it a little more. Can anyone tell me if there is anything to watch out for regarding the seat air bags or can I just unplug, unbolt and take it out?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm potentially selling my leather JDM seats which are non electric so they would be a straight swap for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only a case of disconnecting 3 plugs. Then the 4 floor bolts. Tilt your seat back forward first and take out head restraint. This makes it easier to get at the plugs and also get your seat out of the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
