20201019_193834.jpgHi I was just wondering if I could retro fit electric seats in my e86 I looked under the seats and saw the wire plugged into them because the seats I have are heated so will this plig also have the correct wire to work with an electric seat and also a quick question m sport seats or regular ones?
 
Hiya

I can only reference my experiences retrofitting heated/electric leathers to my E85- as it was a pre october 2004 model all wiring, plugs and relays were in the car, so i just added the seats and switches and off it went

I have done a write up in the how to section on here- have a read

i have m sport seats 😂 i just don't really like a all black interior so I was gonna get a cheap cream seat of electric seats and trim on ebay and it was from a 41k car so its a lot less worn than my 102k
 
If you don’t have the looms it may be worth a PM to IRD on here- I’m sure Ian said he had retrofitted to a non loomed car
 
My august 2005 build with heated, manual seats had the harness and plugs but without +12v and bus wires. Wired proper +12v from the fuse box as described in WDS, connected bus wire to a bus wire running under the carpets. Had to change the seat occupancy sensors because they’re different in pre- and post facelift.
