Pass side for all the seats is easy. there is no canbus controller for it. heat is just a 2 wire +12v & gnd and seat power is the same. Driver is same for heat. but not for seat power

Seats with 8way or more are a royal pain and you have to do a lot of removing the wires & soldering new ones plus removing some of the traces on the circuit board where the switches are. It is not an easy project. Took me a month pouring through documents, schematics and lots of trial & error. Had a whiteboard that was a complete jumble of things to keep track of it. Finally got it all done and after decided that it was too much of a pain to document.

I would recommend sticking with 4 way seats even though I love the 12way seats. If I did it again I would wait to find a set of 4 ways. I barely drive any of my cars anymore and will put my 2000 up for sale if anyone wants it. $5k and it's yours...with the 987 seats & 03 glass top.

I did start on a much smaller circuit board a few months back but have been spending most of my time on a new business venture. I'll get back to it eventually and then all my new boards will be the new version that is much much smaller then the existing one I make.
