Hi guys
I have a pair of front 2 door cloth heated seats here and all the wiring etc...
Question is would it be possible to transfer everything off them and put it on to a pair of leather sports seats?
Cheers Spadge..

I think the heating elements (the fabric/carbon strips that are layered across the foam under the trim) are different as they have different part numbers at BMW. You have to specify leather/fabric when ordering.

The loom/switches are fine.

The elements may even be different shapes from comfort seats to sport seats - not sure tho.
