I fitted mine years ago, but the memory function didn't work. Is this to get the 997 seats operating with the 996 memory buttons?

**** wrong thread, my comment doesn't apply to this thread, sorry.

No, I tried that by swapping the 997 motors to the 996 ECU but no luck. Too many other wires that needed homes. The Pelican link is to get 997 memory seats to bypass the memory and CANBUS functions. They would essentially work the same as the passenger less the lumbar. That's ANOTHER can of worms.

No, this is just to get everything else to work. These are only 2-way adjustable seats so the only thing the memory function would even do is the mirrors and seat backs. They are manual height and forward/back. The memory functions would be pretty pointless.

Found this thread again while searching how to do this conversion because...

I bought 997 sport seats.

Didn't even remember that I had said that.

Great info and nice work. I am a little confused by these two pictures. Is this 996 part number actually under the non-memory 997 seat? Does your 996 stock heat seat High/Lo/Off switch work on the 997 seats? I thought 996 was resistance based while the 997 was PWM.

Is a swap of 997 18-way seats possible since the "997 seat ECU" resides in the seat itself? (just need to figure out power/gnd/CAN connections?)
