Default Power seat question

Hey guys! I have a '99 D2 that I recently swapped the original manual cloth seats out of with power leather seats that I got out of an '04 Disco. The seats fit perfectly and are in great condition, there's only one problem: with the vehicle originally having manual cloth seats, there are no controls for power seats installed in the truck. Basically, the seats are stuck in their current position unless I connect the power seats and install controls that move them. I'm sure there is a way to connect the power seats and get power to them, but even if I did, it would be useless without a way to move them. I guess my question is; is there a way to install controls for power seats in a '99 D2 that didn't originally have controls for them?

Also, I've considered taking the manual tracks off of my old manual cloth seats and putting them onto the leather ones. Would that be possible without doing damage to the seats?

Thanks for the help!

You will need power and earth to the Brown 5-way connector that's hanging under each of the power seats.

But, this will be useless unless you also have the movement/adjustment control switch for each seat, which mount to each side of the centre console, and the cable that goes between these switches and the seats.

If you want to enable the seat heaters, you will need additional wiring in the Brown 5-way connectors, the 2 x console switches and their wiring, plus the revised facia panel.

It's fairly easy to wire-up - by adding wires from existing connectors or circuit headers, to replicate the factory wiring.

Although, you will need specific terminals to fit into the existing connectors and circuit headers.
