It should mostly be straight forward except for the memory function and seat movement.

Sadly I need my wiring diags with me and I dont have those at the moment.

Pin 1 (Red)    Pos Supply
Pin 2 (Black)  Pos Supply
Pin 3 (Brown) Chassis 0V

You need to connect the above wires on the large spare connector you haev from the seat up as above.

These should be available on the wires which would have done the seat height adjustment on the old setup.

Cant the seats be moved manually.

When I bought my Elite, the guy showed me a little meccano like screw driver that slotted into somewhere so they could be manually over ridden.  Whether it was just the height, or maybe other movments I dont know as I never looked.

The winding handle only moves back and forth.

Connect up as per Marks DTM Calib's instructions above to get seat working - obviously you won't have any memory function on mirrors as your car has wrong mirrors fitted.

Do they sound seized, or just dead? If later, check for power at connector.
