Prius seat upgrade

I would love to see this happen.. are you going to do the swap?

 

someone put a leather camry seat in his prius, didn't look too difficult.

 

Sean (sfv41901) installed the Lexus CT200h seats in his Prius and they were almost plug and play (involving a few splicing).

 

I know this thread is old but has anyone successfully upgraded their seats to the prius power seats or the CT200 power seats?
Im looking into doing this but I was surprised to not see any thread about this.

How do you get the schematics for the seat power connectors?

 

probably off the on line repair manual. a few people have done it successfully, but old threads can be hard to find. all the best.

 

I'd be interested in installing some plush seating. When I get serious about it I'll be PMing @sfv41901.

 

I could have but it requires u to rip into the dash to rewire.....didn't feel it was worth it

I had the CT200h seat in my Prii. If I already have power seats, it's pretty much pnp however if I don't it's g o ing to require a o me wiring to power the seats.

VS980 4G ?

 

So is the wiring complicated? I imagine worst case I just have to get it back to the fuse box.
I was planning to visit some scrap yards, but i dont see any new prii there :S
If i can find a power drivers seat it seems i can use one from the Ct200h or the prius but how do you know what years you can use from? Like can i use something from a 2001 prius? or camry/corrola?

Im new to car mods so I have no idea how part compatible things are. If this was a bike i would have had the changes done faster than I could have typed this out :S

 

why can't you get it from the center console?

 

I have 2013 Solar gen 3 can I put a motorized seat from 5 and work. Live in Los Angeles many on ebay pick up only

 

The leather on that seat - OP's post - where your butt sits looks really wrinkly. I had our Tesla seats under warranty changed out because of that - among all the other crappy fit and finish features. You pay for something - you shouldn't get junk level quality! The leather seats in our hybrid Lexus SUV stayed fresh & wrinkle free-unstretched for over 10 years - looking way better than the picture above.
All that said, there's a thread here on PC, where the owner put a Volvo driver seat in the Prius - and it looked really sweet, with all its plush, firm, lumbar support, and 7 way motion adjustability.

I have manual seats in my gen 3 and want to install power seats. How do I find the wires to power the seat?

 

a scrap yard or ebay. first look up the right wires you need..
