Default C6 seats in a C5

Has this been done? I searched, but didn't come up with anything.

Thanks,

Curtis

C5 seats are far more comfortable on a trip than C6, not a option I would consider

The C6 seats are way better than the C5 seats, I guess you never have been in a C6 on a long trip.

Cool! Thanks, is it a direct bolt in, or is modification needed for the C6 seat rails?

Use the C5 seat rails or use C6 seat rails, it really doesn't matter.

It's the electroncis that you have to deal with. You'll need to use the C5 wiring and SCM and splice into to the seat control switch on the side that operates the seat.

Make sure if your C6 seats have air bags that you disconnect them.
