frenshy Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Hi guys Looking to change out my cloth seats for leather. Whats the craic with the electrics? my cloth seats are manual but there is a power plug going into the bottom of the seat which I guess powers the airbag and a seat belt warning sensor on the clip? Will a set of electric leather seats just bolt in and use the same plug to power the switches? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 The heated seats have extra wiring and obviously the buttons in the centre console, probably all retro-fittable I expect Do you have the switches or are they all blanked off?

OV53 Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 I did this last week and the plugs will be pretty self explanatory. The actual electric motors will work but I think the passenger side one doesn't have a plug for the airbags so you will end up with a flashing airbag light on the dashboard. Still haven't overcome this as I haven't had time so if you figure it out drop me a pm. Fitting it is a piece of gypsy's kiss, 4 bolts and they're out! Do it nice or do it twice!

4RE Leather Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 (edited) Turn the light off with a decoded thingy! It happened on mine when I put the GTR seats in. Edited July 13, 2013 by 4RE Leather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OV53 Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Decoded thingy! Nice one....gonna pop over to the motor factor now and get this fixed! Do it nice or do it twice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Leather seats in stock with all electrics and wiring connectors. Also all switches are in stock. A very easy upgrade. Just drop me a PM if I can help further. Alex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave-350 Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Do it nice or do it twice! Do you actually type that after every post you write? Cause its not coming up as a signature... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
