Hi guys

theres some cheap electric heated seats local to me, fully functional but heavy wear, is it possible,and how easy/hard, to swap the actual seats over from a non electric to electric base, and also to fit them in to a p38 thats non electric seat and get them working ?

BECM is under the drivers seat, should have a lable on it to denote Hi Line or Lo Line. Lo Line does not support electric seats.
You will also need the wring looms.

If you're an upholsterer i would think it's easy, if not, maybe a lot of care and a little head scratching is needed, but possible.

Blimey all that work just to keep the bum warm and all that risk messing with the electrics - must be mad!

i reckon your right oldun

well they are cheap, my leather is nice but not electric, if it was "easy" and not too ahrd a job it would be worth it wouldn it, but i dont want a total nightmare

still need to get my heated seat fixed aswell before winter really

The heater wires are actually under the leather ontop of the foam....so you could just replace the seat squab(?) cushions and the back rest onto your frames, and as mentioned the Hi-line BeCM and the switches on the HEVAC....

The leather skins come off fairly easily, a little harder to refit but not a big deal.

thanks guys il look in to it and see if i can find it on there, althouh switches on the hevac ? what for ? (if you mean the heated seat switches, mine already has them and heated seats) but not electric seats, but is that just a case of the wires in to the loom and controling them via the switches on the base ?

The electric seat motors are operated from the BECM in response to the switches, or the lazy seat function from the FOB, which also adjusts the rear view mirrors. I am presuming that all electric seats have the memory function, others will correct me if I'm wrong.

oooohhh... you have Heated seats just not Electric Adjusted seats.....

That is something totally different
