I got my hands on a very good condition set of F56 sport seats. I know there will be some mods to the rails to make them work. I am more concerned about the Airbag/Seatbelt connections. I have seen a few threads on the installing of R56 seats into an R53 -https://www.northamericanmotoring.com/forums/interior-exterior/258753-r56-seats-into-my-04-r53-installed-and-pics.html

curious if anyone knows if the connectors on the F56 seats will be the same as the R56 so I can follow those instructions? or if I am looking at something completely different?

 

I believe you are looking at something completely different

 

I think due to the F series car being much wider than the R series you may find you do not have the width to fit them in.

 

only 1.5 inch wider. Length is another story

 

Let's say we'll get them to fit. How does one figure out the wiring scheme of the F53 vs the R53? yes I know there's some cutting and splicing to be done, is only that? or will one need to play around with resistors, etc.. to make seat belt & airbag sensors work correctly?

 

Any update to this? found some F56 sport seats I kind of wanna try to get a little silly with on my 06 R53
