seat replacement

[Aj Conners]

Will seats from an 05 fit into a 00?  tired of my ripped seats and found a good deal on seats from an 05, but not sure if they will fit or not.

They should fit. Just be aware that if your car did not have the same style seats (i.e. comfort seats, or heated seats), then your car does not have the wiring for those.

since the 05 seats have the side airbags, would that be an issue?  I can get the wiring that attaches at the seat so that shouldn't be a problem from an electrical standpoint.  My current seats are the base seats without heat.  The 05 are 8 way with heat, but on the 05 the switches are under the radio.  Not worries about hooking up the heat though, just power for the 8way

Along with needing the correct wiring harnesses, you are also going to need the side airbag sensors (for which your car has no mounts) and some creative programing to get everything to work.  These are not a simple drop in and bolt up install, you are going to need some creative workarounds to get everything functional...…..

Not what I said.  The seat will go in just fine, but none of the add on’s (electric seat controls, side air bags, etc.) are going to work with out a new harness, sensors, and some reprogramming.  You are the one that needs to decide if the view is really worth the climb, as this is going to require some work and expense.

Understood what you mean.

 

Dont care about the airbag, but the rest of the wiring isn't what I really feel like doing right now.  Car is going to my SO's summer car if I get the 07 I am looking at so she can get recovered seats later.
