Interior change hse to vogue

freemonkey · Mar 5, 2013

Just a quick one I have a 1998 dhse with electric seats but the leather is in sh#te, i have been offered a full interior from a 2000 vogue petrol is there a chance that I may have any bother making the memory seats from the 2000 work in the 1998

Hmmmm interesting Q...

In theory, if you are swapping leccy seats for leccy seats....all should be well....

But I am not sure if the 2000 model seats had more movement functions! I don't recall!!

freemonkey · Mar 5, 2013

I think the movements are the same just the 2000 have memory they both have the high line becm so should be ok there

If I recall correctly, if you have memory seats already, no drama, plug and play. If not you'll need to make sure you have a hi-line ECU so the memory functionality can be turned on (will need a trickbox to do this), if you have lo-line then no memory seats for you.

No doubt someone smarter than me will be in soon to point and laugh at how wrong I am.

Leccy seats shouldn't be a problem, the only thing you might have a problem with is the Mirrors.
If Your's are 10 wire/pin mirrors then you should have full memory function.

I'd try asking a couple of the breakers. They've probably been asked this before and might know how other people got on.

Is it possable to run lecy seats without the hiline becm?
Not bothered about memory so its just the movment

Yes if you can figure out relays and wiring

freemonkey · Mar 7, 2013

Think I just got cought out the wiring is totally different dooh were could I get a diagram for both the standard and the memory seats the heating elements have the same plugs so ok there but the seat fron the 1998 only has the one plug going to it and it branches off to the motors but the one from the 2000 has the one plug ( different shape ) going into an out station ( ecu ) amr 3359 then out to the motors how can I get power from the cars 1998 loom to the out station on the memory seat

RAVE should cover 1997 and 1999-on years...so maybe a goosey at that may enlighten you!

freemonkey · Mar 7, 2013

Ant got a rave lad, done a bit of searching and it looks like I may gust need to get the memory seat harness and it just plugs into the becm

freemonkey · Mar 7, 2013

Anybody know the part number for the memory seat loom can't find it anywhere
