E90 seat retrofit into non bmw?

roblese90 · 07-01-2023, 11:54 AM

Anyone ever seen e90 seats retrofitted into a non bmw? I’ve swapped sport seats into my e91 and instead of selling the old seats, I thought I’d try and retrofit them into my Tacoma. Would I be able to wire up the power functions without messing with the airbags in the seat?

Sure, the seats are powered by the thick red and brown wires. You get all ranges of motion with those wires.
Bolsters, lumbar and heat would also need to receive power to work.

Airbag wires don’t need to be touched and it won’t be affected.

Heat needs a pwm

The seats are worth more than the car.
