    Aero seat interchange.............

    What years interchange?
    I don't want to mess with modifying connectors, just plug
    and play options.
    Previous owner was a smoker and there are burns on both front
    and rear seats.

    So long and thanks for all the fish.

    If you have controls on the seats, look for cars with controls on the seats. If you have controls on the doors, look for cars with controls on the doors. I'm pretty sure door controls didn't start until 96 or 97, but may have waited until later than that. Seat controls did mix in as well in base models until at least 2000 (as my wife's car has those). So there's no direct line indicating what years use which seat. Seats from any year 92-11 will physically fit.

          With controls on the doors, you'll probably want to stick to your own year since the wiring gets jacked with quite often for those. If you look outside your own year, just check the plug to make sure the wire colors and positions and socket are the same. So you might be able to use other years. You can also cut the wires off of your seats and wire in the new to you seats to keep the same wire harness on your car. Then you could use any seat with door controls.

            I'm shocked there's no interchange.

              There should be a small range at least, but you pretty much have to look at each candidate and verify the wire harness. If you want to take the time to change out the rails and just remount the seat, you may be able to use any seats from a car with door mounted controls as you'll be keeping almost all of the motors from your own seats. The only one that's built into the seat itself is the recline. That should be a quick two wire patch if anything.

                ‘95-‘97 will be similar, and ‘98-‘02 should also be good candidates. Big difference with the later stuff is the seat pattern depending on what car it comes from.
