I'm pretty sure that it is a completely different harness for the full power seats. Also, this is a US-based forum and we don't get the commercial here, but most things are applicable to Euro-spec cars.

Ok after speaking to a breaker, from 2024 on they think the change is all on the seat itself ie power the module in the seat using the same plug and it may just be a case of coding

Not seen that done on a L663 yet, but you will almost certainly need the CCF (car configuration file) change. Google GAP Diagnostic IIDTool.

Most of the harnesses are modular, so your breaker could be correct in that you're ok with ccf editing. Sometimes changes to the harness are needed, but it should not be an insurmountable problem.

Kyle

Here's a link to the parts catalogue, hopefully this will help you. I do know there are seat memory ECU units and I'm sure as the other guys have said the car will need to be coded to recognise they're fitted. Chris Royle at Royle Prestige & Performance might be able to assist with this as he carries out numerous retrofits.

Ok, so the rails, wiring etc where all completely different, not just a case of changing harnesses etc
what I did do was just swap the leather over.
this worked really nice, bubble wrap effect still on leather 😂

Thank you for sharing your upgrade.
Was it a straight swap for the seat itself?
Did you manage to memory seating setup as well?
