Maybe, maybe not. Even if the seats aren't being used on the line that doesn't mean that that they haven't engineered the harness for a "power seat ready" version. My car, which was built in April, had a reference to the power seat height adjuster printed in the manual with an illustration and everything. It's cheaper for them to alter some of the components ahead of time so that they don't have alter production later. As a result it is not inconceiveable that the harness is ready to go - just like the manual - and only waiting for the delivery of the seat.rick112 said:Of course you'd also have to worry about wiring. The existing wiring harness wouldn't have been built with that option in mind.
Absolutely true. Usually wiring harnesses are not changed for options. For instance, even those of you without steering wheel controls have the plugs for them built into your wiring harnesses. Upgraded radios...XM...same thing. The plugs are going to be there. Much cheaper to built one wiring harness and put it in every car than it is to build multiple harnesses.jdigiant said:Maybe, maybe not.

I believe there are other posts here indicating that the seat height adjustment is manual - turn a knob with your hand kind of thing. - so could be a simple as bolting on what ever was added between the seat and the rails - or could be a seat swap.twirp said:I was wondering if anyone knew what the odds would be if the seats we already have could be converted to power height adjustment with over the counter parts from the dealership (new frame & motor)?
