Hi there,

I have a 2022 45e with brown vernasca seats, heated and cooled but no massage. I can get s sey of the Nappa white leather seats that I am keen to try to fit in. The white seats have heating, cooling and massage.

Is it as easy as undoing the seat brackets, unplugging the cable and swapping in the seats?

would seat memory, heating and cooling still work?

Just keen to tinker.

Thanks all

Your car will not having the necessary wiring for the massage function. It would require more than one wire harness, new trim panel for doors and VO coding at the very least. It might also need another module, but I'm not sure on that. A fairly big job to make it work.

Sounds interesting, try it out and let us know. Keep in mind the previous post as you will need the extra switches and possibly modules to make it work. Plus new trim panels to accommodate the new added switches.
