Will the Seats from the 2013- fit in a earlier models?
Wondering if the front and rear seats in the new 2013- models will fit in the 2010-2012 cars?
Physically? yes. electrical connectors if power? not sure... They're basically the same seats with different colors, maybe more padding according to some but I didn't notice them to be any different from the test drive I did in a 13.
In the 10-12 mode, I believe heated seats had a different power connector than regular powered seats to account for the extra load used on the heater. Powered, non-heated seats will probably be interchangeable with powered, non-heated seats across generations but not if you start adding seat heaters.
I have pre 2013 seats in my 2013.
The seats i bought were black leather heated and manual. The connectors for airbags and occupant sensors are the same. Im not sure about the heated seat connector because my 2013 did not come with them. I wired them up myself though.
So has anyone found out if heated seats from a 2013 will fit into an older version that had heated seats to begin with??
does this mean seat covers are interchangeable between 10-12 and 13 as well?
99% interchangeable. The 2013 models don't have the lumbar adjustment lever like the 2012s do (or some 2012s depending on trim level - not sure)... So depending on how you want to swap seat covers you may either have to cut a hole for the lumbar adjustment or cover the hole.
I say good riddance. I've never used the lumbar adjustment and all it does in my car is make funny noises when I move around in the seat.
^^^ Where did you get those?
amazon of course. almost half the price that coverking themselves charge and better return policy.
they went up 20$ since i bought however. but still cheapest around. even carid.com wants $250.
I have the same ones(fronts only) and they fit amazing. I hated to cover up the RSpec inserts but I want to protect them..
