    Default Lights are done! Woo-hoo!

    I'll get some photos this weekend; they look pretty good, if I do say so myself. Next project: adding memory to the power seat / mirrors / steering column. Can it be done? Is it simple? Should I even mess with it? Please advise.

    to the steering column probably not.

    and i dont think the mirrors have sensors to tell their location.

    for the seat, there is a specific seat with a memory module.

    Default Do I have to replace the entire seat, or just add the module?

    i think there is a specific model of seating harness that has to be retrofitted as well as the module.

    but the heated seat itself above the mount is esentially the same....

    regardless it will be helpful if you have a degree in electrical engineering.

    You will have to replace the seat, mirror, rewired the switch, hook into the gear selector. In another word, not worth the effert.

    Yeah, I'm starting to get the "too much hassle" vibe. Besides, my wife almost never drives my car. Ah, well, thought it might be cheap and simple. Thanks, y'all.
