Power Seat Upgrade & Electrical Conx Questions

I need some technical help here if possible regarding seat upgrades.

I've got a 99 c2 with the basic seats (power back only). The old seats were okay but I really wanted the option for a tilt base and have now bought some that purportedly came from an 01 Turbo.

Realizing (somewhat belatedly) that the drivers seat isn't as simple to hookup as I thought it would be, I now need some help.

Couple of questions:

1- how can you determine which options are installed on the seats (like memory and heat). I have attached a photo of the underseat module below.

2- I found a thread here on RennTech which discusses almost exactly what I'm trying to do but without photos or a parts list I'm having some difficulty following exactly what needs to be done. Are there any 'step by step' guides out there (similar to the OBC hack)? If not, I'd be happy to create one if someone can provide the proper instructions.

3- For a "minimal" install so that just the drivers seat controls work (minus heat, minus memory) what do I need to connect.

Obviously I'd prefer to do this without cutting the harness (if this is even possible).

Thanks for any help and advice,

Keith
