Retro fit Recaro Pole Positions into C63 W204 - heated seats

Hi all,

I am going to retro fit Recaro pole position bucket seats into my C63. I will need to fab a custom bracket.

my question is heated seats - is there a way to retro fit heating elements into these and also plug them into the OEM buttons on the console so works seamlessly?

Thanks

Let us know how you get on as I will be doing this to mine next year but with carbon pole positions and custom embroidery.

The custom seat brackets is the easy part as any fab shop can make then, then it’s finding someone who is good a coding on Mercedes for all the seat errors that will come up.

To keep the heated part you would have to get something universal I would have thought because the original elements, pipes & wiring would be too big for the pole positions.

Hi Phil,

thanks for the reply . I know someone who has swapped out standard seats for pole positions so will ask if he had any coding issues. He doesn’t have heated seats so that is a separate issue.

do you have a link for the carbon backs pole positions as I can’t find them?

thanks

They do, $145 ea. for the slider kit instead of the fixed base plates.

What is the part number on those please?

Do they still sell the seat baseframe too?
