997.1 gt3 - swap bucket for comfort

[Henners84]

Random question, is it possible to swap a GT bucket seat for a comfort seat (passenger side only). Appreciate it will look unusual (awful!) but it means I should be able to take my boy for father/son trips in it. I understand that Porsche says the buckets are not for use with child seats and, whilst I'm not exactly sure why, I don't really want to take the risk just in case. Thanks

Morning!
Mechanically, yes, insofar as I'm aware, but there might be an issue if the wiring for the in-seat airbags isn't there, or won't work because the Comfort seats were 'coded out' when specified from the factory.

Shouldn’t be an issue from any perspective. Floorplan/seat mounts are indentical.
Anything that’s been coded out can be coded back in, and the comfort seat should come with the necessary wiring for the occupancy sensor, seat belt stalk.

Thanks both, that's a big help

The door cards are quite different so may not fit width wise.

I always thought the door cards were the same but with the comfort seats you have storage under the arm rest and with the buckets, the storage space is foam filled for a little more side impact protection. I might be wrong though !

If it was drivers seat I'd offer temporary swap. Be quite cool to have race seat on my side and comfort seat for passenger

Pictures clearly show the extra impact protection sticks out much further at the bottom and end of the armrest on the CS door card.
