Seat Swap, definitive answer needed

[gort]

Hi Guys.

 

Hoping somebody can give me definitive answer, regarding changing from cloth seats ( non GT car) to leather seats (from a GT car)

 

will they just be plug n play, obviously the heating element won't work, but I'm not fussed about that,

but I need to know if the electric switches work when I plug em in, or will I have to source relay/fuses, or will my non GT car already have them installed?

 

and I don't want any hassle of having to add extra looms/wires in to stop the passenger air bag from flashing.

 

Surely people on here have done this in the past, and can tell me of any problems encountered.

 

Because if it's too much of a ball ache,I'm not going to bother.

 

Thanks in advance guys.

As far as I know, the non GT only has 2 connectors, one yellow one is for the airbags and a small white one for the seat belt indicator, so you'll have to wire in the other connector on the seat to a power source.

Did your old seats have airbags? Mine are being done now,you will have to wire in a loom for the seat motors not that much ball ache really especially for the result of some leather in there,

Looks like you've got lucky, that looks like a positive and negative for both seat motors and heaters

Right, I have some pics kindly taken from the guy I'm thinking of buying the seats from, it all look like it should work & match up.

That's the same as iv done with mine and they were just a plug and play, they work fine. . . .

 

There is a way of connecting up the heated seats too but I just need to find the switch. . . .

that's the message I wanted to here

If your really lucky the loom will be in the centre console - pop it off and have a look - if so you just need the buttons

 

Good Luck

Hi buddy just wondering what your end result was with this? If car doesnt come with the heated loom can you buy pre made looms for it? Cheers

I'm not bothered too much about the heated seats, so never investigated to see if the loom was under the centre console, everything else worked has it should though
