Will this swap work? Other than seat belt receptacle, what issues will I have? Do I need to swap anything else from my current seats?

Is the wiring the same? | wiring should be the same if manual to manual swap. if it's electric, then that is a different story just use your current seatbelt receptacle and everything will work | | | 08-31-2014, 10:14 PM | #5 | Junior Member Join Date: May 2012 Location: Waverly,NE Posts: 25 | Great, thanks for the help! | | | 08-31-2014, 10:44 PM | #6 | Senior Member Join Date: May 2007 Location: LA, Bellflower, CA Posts: 3,613 | Wiring is all the same. I've done this to my ti as well. The heating elements have two plugs on the bottom of the seats which are the same as the ti ones. And there is another plug for the seat itself. You may have to swap out the bottom buckle assembly tho on the seats as it may be different from obd 1 to obd 2. I've had to swap it from my ti seats to the vaders. It's just two bolts per each one. Simple swap, takes about 5 minutes to do. __________________ -Theta Chi- Float like a cadilac, sting like a BIMMER .... my socket is just too thick and won't fit in the hole! damnit!

Heating elements are for sure the same. The seat belt restrainer or buckle assembly may have to be swapped from the original seats which is no problem to do and doesn't affect anything.
