possibility to retrofit the electric passenger seat

[giuseppearmran.randone]

Hi all, I type from Italy where the guide is on the left; I was thinking that I would like to modify the passenger side seat and make it electric like the driver's side and I think I should install some components that you have on yours since you drive on the right; do you think it is a feasible change? what does it take to make it feasible?

If it was feasable I would certainly like to do it as well but I would need a left hand seat! I would think it would mean a whole new seat which would be mega-bucks no doubt. I wonder if it could be coded in if you did find a replacement seat?

Formentor is too new to get cheap second hand parts/seats etc.
You might also need to route some extra wiring, as VAG group usually does not give you any unused things.
Third the coding might be an issue, as the soft is also new for this model.

On my secondary car, 14 years old diesel volvo I took out manual cloth seats and replaced them with full electric leather seats and everything worked right out of the box. No coding, not additional wiring.
Ah the good old days...

Hello everyone, I'm resuming this discussion; the new Formentor also has an electric passenger seat and I would therefore increasingly like to be able to have it on mine too; theoretically it would be enough for me to purchase the components that you, who drive on the right, mount. What do you think I should buy?
