Looking to buy used 2015 seats for install in my 2007 JKU. Will they fit??
The new seats have heated seat wiring...not sure if there's a way to hook that up and get switching for the 2007. Thoughts?
Cheers

Well, the 2015 seats are in. Different wiring harness. I'm getting brutal seatbelt chimes the entire time And an airbag light. Cut the original harness off the '07 seats. Does anyone have a 2007 wiring diagram so I can splice this correctly?

Well. The seats are in, but it was a serious pain. I had to remove the seats from their respective frames and swap them. The 2007 restraint system is totally different from the 2015. In short.... The seats bolt in ok, but the CANBUS system will have a shit fit as none of the harnesses connect. You have to swap the seats on to the year specific frame. This involves cutting hog ties and replacing them on the new frame. It's pretty much the same as replacing your worn seat upholstery with new Katskin leathers. It's simply not worth swapping in newer model seats into older model JKs.

I have a friend who did a swap and it was totally worth it. We've got fewer sensors and it was just a matter if making the new seats connect to the proper wires.

I just swapped 2014 seats into my 2008 JKU. Both were not side airbag seats. I swapped over the female side seat belt buckle on both seats. The passenger side didn't have any electrical connections. On the drivers side I had to swap out the harness that connects the seat belt and the seat position sensor. The sensor connects right to the mount on the 2014 seat. Both of the seats had the same sensor. Wasn't too bad to swap out. Let me know if you have any other questions.
