I have the opportunity to by original Porsche seats, that are fully electrical adjustable, with memory. Is it possible to retrofit those seats in a 98 Boxster.

The standard seats have electrical adjustment of the back, so the wires should be there. And the for memory option, i would need those extra switches near the trunk openers, and what more?

Has anybody done this before, or is it impossible.

Thank you for your help.

Since no one has answered.....

I think this would be hard. There is a little strip of buttons that goes by the trunk releases for the memory positions 1, 2, 3. And there is probably a memory module tucked under the seats. So, just having the seats isn't enough. If you think that having the wires there to move the back, back and forth, consider that the oe power seats also go back and forth, and up and down.

so, my answer means I really don't know the exact answer. I wouldn't try this unless I had ready access to the more parts that I would need.

Be different, don't worry about the memory. Hook your adjustments up to the center console, utilizing the unused buttons. Run power and a relay and presto totally electric seats [need to be creative with your wiring.]

Is it worth that though, is your right hand that lazy, maybe you have the Dr. Strangelove disease, then have someone do it immediately...
