Can 996 turbo seats be changed
Discussion
without affecting electrics adversely?
I have finally found what could be the right car, but for one reason, the seats.
I am picky and have been looking for ages for a low mileage turbo with the sports seats. I think they look better, are comfier (IMO) and I am led to believe (from a fellow owner) offer a bit more room in the back for my 5 month old daughter to grow into.
There is a possibility of swapping the standard electric memory seats for crested sport seats from a similar mileage car. However, the specialist is concerned that it could affect the electrical systems, ECU, airbag etc... I have no idea if this is the case.
Has anyone experience of doing this, what it would involve and whether there is any risk?

Any garage that could legitimately call themselves a specialist should have done it and know exactly what is involved I would say... I have finally found what could be the right car, but for one reason, the seats.

Well, the problem doesnt appear to be getting the sports seats in the car, but swapping the memory seats back to the donor car. The looms are different, and the dealer would be left with a car with no seats, and not enough space for switches.
Was also told by JZM that the car would be a bit of a white elephant come resale. I am looking at buying some low mileage seats and storing the memory seats though, anyone know of a good pair?
