I got a quote from my dealer for the following parts: 996-347-983-11-A28. This should be a black leather three spoke steering wheel with dark wood trim. Is this correct? (the part I'm not sure about is the leather) 996-803-989-01-A28. This should be a black leather airbag w/colored crest for a three spoke steering wheel. Is this correct? (again, the part I'm not sure about is the leather.) Both are for a 2000 996 C2. Thanks, Glenn

Folks, A quick update on this. Yesterday Loren was kind enough to send over the schematics for this (Memory Seat & Mirror, sheet 15). As I hadn't gotten the (car side) wiring harness for the seats, but chomping at the bit to get the seats in and working, I reviewed the schematics for a while, I began to think that I could hook the seat up without worrying about the memory buttons or mirrors for now. I then set up a mock up. I found that if I applied power and ground as indicated (Terminals 30, 31, & 15) the on-seat buttons worked like a champ. I was then able to rig up a small harness that supplies the memory unit as required with 30 amp and 2 x 7.5 amp power and ground. I was able to plug this "harness" into existing car harness to get the power I need. I also put an in-line 7.5 amp fuse to drop the amps for the two terminals that require it. After driving around a bit to enjoy this, I went back to work. I was able to quickly rig up a harness to make the memory switch work. However, I'll save the installation of this for another time as it requires the installation of a new inner rocker panel for the button unit. It also requires a run up to the light switch to light it. This gave me another reason to wait another day. Anyway, I am very pleased with the way this is working out. Hopefully, I get the harness this week, that will facilitate setting this all up properly. However, I believe I'll need new harnesses for the mirrors to get the memory working in them properly. Please don't hesitate to ask if you want additional detail. Finally, I love the new seats which are full power w/ Lumbar. They even have the Porsche logo on the head rest. If I had any complaints with the car it was with the old seats. The Frau and I both love the new ones. The lumbar in particular. Loren, thanks again for sharing the schematic. That was incredibly kind of you. Glenn

I have a 2000 996 C2 Coupe w/ heated (standard) seats. I have the opportunity to get my hands on a pair of full power seats w/Lumbar & Heat. The passenger seat will plug right in but the drivers seat has the memory unit and I'd like to take full advantage of this. My questions: 1. Can anyone provide me with the schematic for the wiring harness that goes from the seat to the fuse panel, memory buttons, and mirrors? I suppose too, that the harness will need to route over to the buttons in the center of the dash to the heated seat switches. 2. What is (are) the part number(s) for the above harnesses(s)? 3. Any suggestions for where to find the above item(s) new? My local dealer says that they won't sell me anything like a wiring harness that my VIN number won't collaborate. I will also try the dismantlers but I'd like to get this new. 4. I have also considered that, because I still have a couple of years of warranty left, that I might want to go a safer route (at this time) by installing the U.K passengers seat harness in my drivers seat. This would bypass the memory unit but I wouldn't need to install or re-work the wiring harness outlined in item 1 above. Can anyone provide me with the part number for this unit? The unit would include the button assembly (black) on the side of the seat along with the wires and plugs that go to the backrest, seat bottom, lumbar, and main connector to the wiring harness under the seat. I realize too that this would require me to tinker with the various power units under the seat. 5. Finally, I have searched the web over and have not seen anything on this topic other than a couple of folks who wanted to add the heated seat feature to their car. If this topic has been covered elsewhere, can someone provide me with the link(s)? If not and I'm the only guy who ever wanted to do this, am I crazy? Many thanks in advance. Glenn
