Hi there folks, I am in the middle of a plan to upgrade my ES GT manual seats to the heated power seats from an EX or Type S vehicle of the same year.
I understand there may not be the exact 'plug and play' swap I would like, and there would be extensive wiring and re-wiring to be done to install the switches, connectors etc.
Has anyone had any experience of swapping front seats or upgrading them to power seats? I have found a Type S Tourer that is being broken currently and could salvage all the parts I need, including the upgraded trim parts for the centre console (see pics)
Otherwise, a second option would have a company like www.motormods.co.uk retrofit the heated seat elements and install fresh switches for almost £500 which is a lot to pay for a slightly warmer bum in the winter!
It's a fun winter project that I'll keep track of, but any hot tips regarding the wiring/connectors would be great!
