e30 vert manual sport seats TO e46 electric seats

[Fraggolicious]

I am considering ditching my black leather manual sport seats for some e46 leather seats as my black leather is worn and cracked in a couple place.

If my new seats are POWER seats, how do I use them as I dont have power wires in my seats now? Do power seats also have manual levers underneath?

Thx for help.

Look up a wiring diagram for the e46 seats and see what you need. If all you need is 12v and ground, then just find those on your car and that's it...

Power seats are just that, power. In theory there are manual E46 seats, but I've seen zero of those. E36 seats are also possible.

Not sure on '88 'verts, but other cars may have a two pin power line/ground/plug installed under the seat for seat heaters which you might be able to use.
