I keep telling everyone I am as you described me, “a poor pensioner “. But it doesn’t seem to make any difference I can’t get any price reductions. that’s why I am poor.

Start with the old passenger seat. You should be able to cut the loom free from the old seat wire harness. All the wires are taped together but once untangled they are separately wrapped.
It'll look something like this:

Bottom left corner you'll find this plug:

It has 4 wires. Red/black, brown, green/grey, blue/black.
At the main yellow seat connector (x275) you will have a Red/black wire and a brown wire. These are the positive and ground wires.
Top right corner you will have the switch for the bolster:

There are 3 wires. Colours are: Red/black, blue/black and green/grey
Detach this loom, now with the passenger loom out that should help you work out how to free and cut out the drivers seat loom.
My electric drivers seat is in my car but from memory the bolster loom is not integrated in the main electrical box:

You should be able cut free the drivers similarly to the passenger side.
If that fails I have already unwrapped the passenger loom and have a drawing of the loom and pictures so you can make one up.
Thanks Rob

Well! This evening Stuart completed the final stage of modifying my manual heated seats. They are now fully electric with memory and inflatable bolsters. It has proved far more complicated than we originally thought. But with help and advice from other Forum members Anubis Z and Uncel. The work has now been completed. Many many thanks to Stuart and everyone else who offered advice. I am over the moon. So I can now say with confidence that the car is even better than when Pondrew (against his wife’s wishes) sold it to me.

I'm glad you have finally got the seats all working now! A real team effort
Seems like it's easier to fit E89 seats in an E85 than an E89

You are probably right. But many thanks to you guys for all your help. Shows the value and the strength of the Forum.
I am absolutely delighted with the seats. It is so much easier to make minor adjustments on the move when they are electric and then store any changes in the memory.

Yours or the cars Ian?
Glad it's all working now, love my memory seats, as does Angie
For reference, the memory seats on the G29 are for both seats and not just the drivers as on the E89. The buttons are on the door cards by the door pull, which I think is a good place for them.

Not much stored in my memory these days Dave. When walking from one room to another I forget why.AnubisZed wrote: ↑Sat May 18, 2024 5:21 pmYours or the cars Ian?

Do I come here often?
I do love the seat conversion though.
Thank you for your help.

I'm glad you got them fitted and fully operational Ian, and that you are really pleased with them too.
But I'm sure we'd all love to see a photo or two!
