Manual Seats to Leather Seats
Hey guys. My car is a 2014 base v6 with manual cloth seats. There is a guy selling his 2014 GT leather seats. I want to do a swap with him. His driver side is a power seat and the passenger side is manual.
Can i just go ahead and do a straight swap without an issue? He said it will be a direct swap and there is a power harness under my manual seat which will plug right up!
Let me know if you guys have experienced this before. Any opinions/insights will be much appreciated.
Thanks!

UPDATE:
I installed the leather seats. They were a DIRECT swap. Power seat harness is built in to the connectors in all 10-14 mustangs from the factory whether the seats are manual cloth or automatic leather.
The seats look really good and im really happy

Good to know, I read that the harnesses are already in the car, manual or power seats. I have cloth seats, but power driver, and manual passenger. I plan to swap to leather seats too.

However the guy that took my seats, put them in his 2010 GT and the air bag light came on. He fixed that by putting his '10 bottom seat panel in my 14' seats to put in his car and his airbag light was gone.
But if you are swapping 13-14 seats to 13-14 cars, it will be fine.

No air bag light since the seats came out of a 2014 GT. (Mine is a 2014 V6)

Thanks so much for the information!!

The TMS app makes the picture quality horrible. Looks really good on my phone and in person! Love it. Also, the blue accent you are seeing on the front seats are from the BLUE LEDs Map lights.

According to the original poster the bottom seat panel from your '14 will have to be used with the '10 seats (just the opposite of what was done) if you have an air bag light. As far as the heated seats you may have a problem there. You will need switches to turn them on, and off. I'm fairly sure that any type switch that's suitable would work, but I have no idea how they would be hooked up.

I know this is a pretty old thread but I'm looking to buy someone's Recaro seats off their 13 and I have leather seats from a 11. From what I can tell you guys are saying to use the leather seats in the 13 it needs the seat bottom panel. What do you mean by the bottom panel? Are the plugs for the airbag the same between 11-14. If I buy 13 cloth seats can I swap the the leather from my '11 onto the '13 seats and they'll work in his 13. As far as making the 13 Recaros work in my '11 I'm not worried about the airbag light. I'm currently driving with the driver side bag blown but if I can make the swap work I just need to replace the airbag and that's no issue. If there is a way to make the 13 Recaros work in a 11 that would be preferable. Any help is appreciated thank you.
