Also I finally had a chance to pull the x279 connector and look at the pins. I have sport seats with electric / memory and pins 2 and 3 were empty. These are the locations for the K_CAN_H and K_CAN_L signals. The retrofit guide does not call for any connections to be made to these.

Also I already have a power wire at pin 4 and a ground at pin 8 so I only need to run two wires from the passenger seat connector back to the fuse box. I'll have to check the drivers side as well.

I also need to look at the modules to confirm the wiring needed between the seat connectors and the modules. On the passenger side it appears I would need to run just the two wires. Unfortunately these two wires need to terminate at an existing connector on the seat module so I need to see whether it uses the same sockets as the seat connector x279 does.
