Thread: Seat Swap: 04+ to 97-03[*]

what about the seat belts, can the 04+ ones bolt right into the 97-03 models?

My seatbelts in my 99 work with it, but I will most likely swap them out to the 04+ ones eventually. I remember at least one member mentioning they had done this. Now I just need to get another set of headrest seatbelt holders again.

can anyone elaborate a little more on how to hook the wiring up a little better, I'm having trouble trying to figure out how to connect everything,

Am i going to be splicing and making my own connections or ....??? pictures would be excellent if possible

Sorry, I didn't see your questions earlier. I don't check this thread very often. I am unable to update the write-up so it has just sat. The CGP one is updated more, but needs to have more.

Don't know if my passenger side heat would be the same for anyone else since I already had an aftermarket heat kit in my old passenger seat. I have bigger things to tear apart before I get back to the interior.

Here is the wiring part of it to this point.

Wiring:
99 GP (Connector c311)
--------------------------------
Pin A-Fused Battery Feed - Orange (larger gauge wire)
Pin B-Ground - Black
Pin C-Fused Battery Feed - Orange (smaller gauge wire)
Pin D-Seat Belt Switch Input - Black/white stripe
Pin E-Heated Seat ON Feed - Blue
Pin F-Heated Seat Low/High Input - Pink

05 GP (Connector c311)
--------------------------------
Pin A-Battery Positive Voltage - Orange
Pin B-Driver Heated Seat Cushion Temperature Sensor Low Reference - Yellow
Pin C-Battery Positive Voltage - Orange
Pin D-Driver Heated Seat Relay Control - Purple
Pin E-Heated Seat Cushion Temperature Sensor Signal - Yellow/black stripe
Pin F-Not Used
Pin G-Ground - Black
Pin H-Seat Belt Switch-Left - Black/white stripe
Pin J-M-Not Used.

Connections:
Pin A to Pin A (+)
-Orange to Orange (larger gauge wire)

Pin C to Pin C (+)
-Orange to Orange (smaller gauge wire)

Pin B to Pin G (-)
-Black to Black

Pin D to Pin H (Seat belt)
-Black/white stripe to Black/white stripe

Pin E to Pin D (heated seat on feed/Driver Heated Seat Relay Control)
-Blue to Purple

Pin F to Pin B and Pin E (Heated Seat Low/High Input/Driver Heated Seat Cushion Temperature Sensor Low Reference and Heated Seat Cushion Temperature Sensor Signal)
-Pink to Yellow and Yellow/black stripe

Original: tviolette76

Well the seat switch has been turned around and it works great. I did have to shave/cut off three plastic tabs (guide tabs) that I found to be a non issue. Two of them are on underside of the switch cap (for lack of a better description) and one on the switch body. They are very easy to see when you do try to reassemble the switch, and just by taking a knife to them to slice them off is required.

If you have anything to add or pics it would be very welcome.

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.

Have you had any luck with this? I am going to tear into this and see what I can figure out. But if you already had done it, any help would be appreciated!

Were the 04+ cars ever available with TAN interior? Iv'e never seen one, too bad, this looks like a great mod, love the results. Good job Dude!

all 04+ gp's are 4 door. Any seat from an 04+ will work IIRC.

i like the fact that the rear seats fold down def looks like a mod to ad to the to do list
