Default Leather Seats

I have an enthusiast with cloth seats and was really wanting to put burnt orange leather seats in. My only question is what I would have to do about the electronic hook up for power seats. Can I run wire or what. Surely some one has done this.

It would be much more cost effective to simply buy new leather seat covers for your existing seats. Search around; you will find several options and pics.

It would be much better to simply reupholster the existing seats with a leather kit instead of installing new seats requiring connections to a re-wiring scenario (which would be difficult and expensive).

To the OP: A search here will give you the information you need.

I had leather seats done at the dealer when I got the car. I have the levers to adjust them manually. It's a lot faster than waiting for the motor to move the seat IMO.

If you have air bags for your car, then you will have the connection for the powered leather seats. All i had to do was plug up a simple harness and the power works. Simple as that.

I had aibags on my cloth and i have burnt orange powered seats now.

When you say air bags, do you mean air bags in the car period or for the seats?
