I am trying to determine what is required to swap-out/upgrade from "Comfort Seats" (equipped with Mem/Heat & Power) to A.S.S (equipped with Mem/Heat/ Power). I done a tons of searches and read through counts posts on multiple forums but can't find anything definitive.
My car is a 07' 997.1 C4S Cab

I thought that Sport seats with full power (not just seat recline) and memory ARE called Adaptive Sport Seats. If you have memory feature, you either have comfort power seats or ***.
And the dealer would be best to ask, IMO.

You are right, I am using wrong terms to describe seats!
What I currently have are "Comfort Seats" (w/ Mem/Heat & pwr) and what I am considering is A.S.S
In pic I have 1st seat on left ("Comfort Seats") and middle is A.S.S model. Thanks for pointing that out.

Sorry, this is not a common or typically sought after swap. Most swap seats with sport seats that have pass throughs for harnesses, to be legal with PCA harness requirements. The seats will bolt in. They only potential differences could be the electrical harnesses and the memory module (under the driver's seat). If you are looking for something that will hold you better in corners, Adaptive Sport Seats are only marginally better than the "comfort" seats. Sit in one before you spend a lot of money on a pair. **** are not a substitute for real track seats like Sport Buckets or Euro 996 GT3s.

Back to your original question, I don't think anything is required if you got the power and same settings as the new seats, it should be a plug and play.

I think (but I don't "know") that you will have to have the dealer so some kind of reset in the ECM and probably reprogram it (e.g. for the memory function, which I believe has more to remember on the A.S.S. seats). In addition, I believe I've heard that some kind of reset is required re the air bags in the seats.

You only have to reset the ECU if you turn on the key with the harnesses unplugged. The only thing the ECU monitors for the seats is the seat belt latch and the air bags. The ECU checks loop only when the key is turned on. Seat air bag warning can be disabled in the ECU by your dealer if you swap non-airbag seats.

Search for my threads either on here or P9, can't remember where I posted. All you need is to tap into some power. It's not hard to do. You can get a sport seat with the hardback and the shoulder winglets from any 987.1/2 or 997.1/2
