Looking to add these to my 997.2 as well but concerned with the electronics that are connected to the existing seats (airbag, seat belts, heat, ventilation, etc.). Anyone know or confirm that all that is needed is to code these out/turn these off with a scanner tool (e.g. foxwell)? Am I correct to assume that the plug under the seat would simply not be connected to anything since the Recaros do not have Porsche connections/plugs?

Yes I can confirm as I have installed Recaros in my car. Just need to code out those options and tuck the plugs under the seats. Here are how my seats look.

So you have it. For the NT520, below are the coding changes.

Programing/Vech.Electrical Sys/Customer-Specific Settings
Left Seat Heater = Not Installed
Right Seat Heater = Not Installed

Programing / POSIP / Customer-Specific Settings
Driver Thorax Airbag=No
Passenger Thorax Airbag=No
AWS=No

Both of your setups look great! 415CPA...which base/bracket setup did you go with?

Nice setup! What kind of shifter is that? Do you like it?

Thank you.

It is a Numeric short shifter and Precision Work shifter cables with Raceseng weighted shift **** and Raceseng shift **** extender. I love the setup a lot. So much better than stock.

Cool. I was also looking into the CAE shifter as well.
