E class W213
Retrofit Driver Seat
Hello everyone ,
Hope you are all well.
I have a question which I`m hoping some of you enthuziasts will be able to assist with.
I have recently bought a Mercedes E class W213 , with standards seats . ( electric up/down , backrest ) , manual seat adjustment for forward / back.
I am missing the lumbar support , and I have seen I can buy a seat with the build in function online , from a car just like mine that had the upgrade.
Now all that means is the seat itself has another button on the side ,for the electric lumbar support.
Now I would assume it would be a pretty straight forward replacement , and all the connectors would fit as per my current driver seat , as it only has the extra 1 function.
My question is , does anyone know if this would require a extra connector from the car ? ( personally I assume the chair only needs the power supply , once it has it , it is distributed to all necessary elements so would not need another connector which I would be missing ? )
Thanks,
Alex.
