I have a problem with fitting a set of facelift (2001) Elite leather interior into my pre-facelift Omega. My car is a 1996 Elite which had leather interior and heated seats etc but I wanted a fresher set of seats so got some out of a facelift car. The rears went in fine and all the wiring plugs were the same. The fronts went in ok and the electic movement works ok but there are 2 plugs for the heated seats and there is just one in my car. The plug in my car is a black 2 pin plug with 1 brown and 1 black/yellow wire. The plugs for the heated elements on the new seats are a black 2 pin plug with 1 brown wire and 1 black wire and a green 2 pin plug with 1 black/yellow wire and 1 black/green wire.
The question is how do I wire them up to the power supply that is in my car so that they work? I assume they have different plugs because of the variable heat setting on the facelift but im not bothered about that- just as long as they go on and of like my pre-facelift ones.
Sorry if this has been covered before but I did a search and couldnt find it, thanks for any help!

The facelift has variable heated seats. Dont think it can work in your car. ;)

This is why you need to stick to the correct age seats for your Omega - there are 3 different, incompitble types...

That doesnt sound good! There doesnt seem to be any electronic controllers or anything in the seats so I thought that if it was all done from the switches in the facelift car then there must be a way to wire it as on/off?

Thanks for the replies guys- does anyone have the wiring diagrams for the heat mats on the seats I have or a link to them?
-
You have a more fundamental problem than heating - the seatbelt pretensioners most likely won't work.
I'd strongly advise against this upgrade downgrade...

there is a heated seats controller in the seat itself.
what comes from the car is a signal voltage from the variable-voltage switch. This is interpreted by the controller for the correct gas-mark of the seat pad.
flat-out probably won't work, 'cos it's bl**dy hot. I find any more than 30 seckonds sitting on it and I can smell fried chicken.
what colour are the seats ? I have a spare set of mini-facelift Elite seats and could do a swap ( light grey )
