Elite set frames on MV6 seats
« on: 02 August 2008, 12:39:26 »
i would like to try and fit Elite full electric seat frames to my MV6 seats, having looked at the wiring on the CDX there is a lot more there than is required and i am wondering if the car has an Elite Loom fitted, so far i have found the additonal loom for the memory adjustment for the rear view mirror.

So the plan is to try and get two elite seat bases/runner assemblies with motors as well as the seat ECU and try and connect it all up to the MV6 seats i have, this having fully electric MV6 leather.....

Any ideas on if this is possible?

Seem to remember Sassenach doing the same thing Jay.
Maybe a PM or a good googling would prove helpful.

Sassanach did the same thing and I think he vowed never to try it again!

Involved reworking the metal work of the seat frame and runners I think.

lot of work but do-able,the base frame is virtually a straight swap, the problems are all in the seat back.

what you have to do is cut off the rear seat hinge points off the elite frame and weld them onto the mv6 rear frame.the spindle for the electric seats have a different number of splines compared to the manual mv6 back adjuster(makes sense to me anyway) ;D
