Memory Seats

[nigel cross]

MY W203 allready has electric seats, has anybody ever done the conversion to convert to the memory version :bannana: and if so what would be required?

I dont think it is as easy as that i am afraid.

The memory seats option is part of a package if i remember rightly...

I doubt very much if youve got full electric seats if you don't ahve the memory function.

You will most likely have partial as in you still have to use the leaver closest to the gearstick to move the seat forwards and backwards.

full electric seats allow the forward and back movement as well as the headrest and steering columb as well as the wing mirror positions and the passenger mirror dipping when you select reverse.

I agree - I have this on my passenger side yet you still have to move the seat forward/back manually aswell as the headrest.

There are 3 stages that you need to complete before you can claim to have memory seats.

Stage 1
---------
Change the door controller and the side mirror frames to the better version - these would be the type for memory location, folding and dimming mirrors

Stage 2
--------
Replace door trim to the version that has the buttons on the door. Add some basic wiring into the foor - easy to do.

Stage 3
--------
Purchase the seat frames (you can re-use the leather and subcushions) with the memory capable version which also has the headrest motor.

Should cost you no more than 3X the factory price and take just one day to install.

A steering column motor is totally optional.

help me benzmodz!
I got the memory door paners, seats and controlers and harnesses. The one side of the harnesses plugs under the seats in the memory controller boxes, however my question is where exactly does the other side plugs? thank you in advance

The drivers side also plugs into the memory steering column and the CAN commoning block. Similarly passenger side plugs into the CAN bus common block. I dont recall if there are any other connections. As far as I know the power is already there.

There is no direct wire from the door to the seat. It is done with network (two wire CAN) connections at each end.

thank you benzmodz. I will have a look, where that can bus commoning block is located?

Only the bottom half. The top half should come from an E55.
