Swapping Heated Recaro's
a local offered me his G85 leather, recaro heated seats. i have cloth and unheated in my car.
what i wanna know is it all plug and play? i can see that there is a harness end poking out under my seats, and since there is no power seats, im assuming they just used the same harness on all the cars.
he would also be giving me his radio bezel with the switches in it. is there a harness behind mine that i can just plug into the switches?

jordan they are not recaros.... yes i had a g85, but they ran out of recaros in 07.... so they are just the leather ss seats..... but they are heated and blk/blk.... if you wanna see if they are plug and play we need to rip apart your car and see what needs to happen..... so maybe one day lets meet at the shop and we can have a look....

There is an easyish way of making them plug and play, way to hard to describe online tho, but basically gotta take the harness outta the donor car and
Reinstall in new car, in cloves pulling pins and re pinning on new car

yes exactly.... lol i just assume to do it when we have alot of time during the day.... like the weekends.... i am not sure if i have took that harness out yet.... so if we find we need the harness then we can go get the harness out of the car.... and your car will be all nice and warm waiting for warm seats....
