Thanks for for the response. I have read the Pelican/101 guide to installing 987 seats in a 986. I have also seen some threads on Rennlist that suggest other methods might work. The Pelican/101 method is my backup plan in the event I can’t find a simpler or more elegant solution.

The C63 seats I installed in my Mercedes seem to share many similarities with my 987 seats. I initially found a way to work around the CAN BUS on my Mercedes, but eventually someone provided additional insight and I was able to integrate the memory and some other features into the car.

A key difference between Mercedes and Porsche is that Mercedes like mine are common at the “Pick and Pull” near me. I was able to see the components in a vehicle and buy inexpensive parts. Porsches seem to be scooped up by specialists recyclers.

I will continue to post updates. If I appear to be heading in the wrong direction, please don’t hesitate to provide feedback. I may be working on this off and on for several weeks.
