Default C6 Seat Install (into a C5) Questions......

I may have the opportunity to install some C6 seats into my C5Z. The C6 seats are the 'base' model, which is a little confusing. Apparently, compared to the upgraded C6 seats (or the C6Z seat) there is a different amount of side bolstering and no lumbar adjustment. Thats OK, as is the fact that I wont hook up the airbag. But what about the memory function. My C5Z has the memory option and I would like to keep it functioning. I know nothing about how the memory system works. Are there position sensors in the seat track or is there a module that has some type of memory built in? Do I need to use a specific C6 seat or will any electric C6 seat be controlled by my cars memory system? Any info or experience is appreciated.

any chance you could keep your C5 seat track and just put the C6 upper seat on it? if that's the case you shouldn't have any problems.

I know I saw a post that someone actually put the C6 seats in a C5 already. Sorry I don't know exactly where it is but you might want to search for that thread. They might have some of the info you are looking for.


edit: here it is.
