This is obviously not a simple plug and play mod, but the finished product is impressive...as is your persistence and plan of action to get it all buttoned up.
Thanks...but it wasn't that bad....just takes time and patience....a lot of schematic reading....both on the c7 side and the c6 side....ohh i forgot thanks to Bill Dearborn (forum member) he was help as well....supplying me with schematics....and a corvette tech named Andy at Heiser Chevrolet in West Bend Wi for answering my questions....this tech knows his stuff!!!....Heiser is a first class Corvette dealership

Even airbags? Do you plan on writing up the wiring challenges or better yet, creating a plug and play harness?
no side airbags...i suppose if you have seats with side airbags; then you are either going to eliminate the airbags or find a way to install them into the airbag cavity on the c7 seats...which is going to be tight because when you retract the seats all the way back...the c7 side airbag cover hits the b pillar
I think as far as the side airbags go that has yet to be determined by someone else that has them already installed in their c6 seats. You have to remember 2 things about the airbags…1. Will they fit in the existing c7 side airbag cavity…2. Will the c7 airbag cover interfere with the movement of the seat if you want to move the seats all the way to the rear bulkhead. I had to remove 3/4 of a inch from my seat covers to clear the pillar. If not…what will happen is that it will force the seat to push up in the rear or hit the pillar as well. I suppose you can choose to get the side airbag simulation plugs from dan at vetteworks…..along with all of this are the seat position sensors and pretensioner plugs. Maybe there is someone else that can chime in here that has side airbags currently in their c6 seats and are transitioning them to the c7 seats.
...sorry i was pretty sick and then dealing with my wife having vertigo.....i have to gather the schematics and the color code for the c7 seats...going through my infomation and i will have that available soon...
Smokeyjr,
We wish you good health and hope all is well at the homestead.
If you need color codes for the seat covers, feel free to call or send us a message for anything we can help with.
Look forward to hearing from you again soon. God bless.
Niko at suburban is the best guy to work with...he has helped me out figuring part numbers for different seat covers...he has always returned my emails or phone calls...in the future; I will be changing my seat covers over to black with red stitching to match my new centennial dash and door panels... my gt seats were originally black with titanium stitching
...sorry i was pretty sick and NOW dealing with my wife having vertigo..."WHAT'S MORE IMPORTANT?"
yes....i am putting the final write up for the wiring ...i have to gather the schematics and the wiring color code from my notes for the c7 seats...going through a lot of infomation and i will have that available soon...
bud..if you have no need for this write up...then why chime in...you have made a choice getting A4 seats...i wish you well...BTW....I DON'T OWE A EXPLANATION WHY THIS IS TAKING LONG JASON; OR THIS FORUM A EXCUSE, OR A REASON ON MY PERSONAL LIFE...MY FAITH AND FAMILY WILL ALWAYS COME FIRST BUD...BEFORE THIS FORUM....
ANYONE WISHING INFO...YOU CAN EMAIL ME PLEASE
Family is more important and I hope your wife gets well soon.
Thanks in advance for doing this write up that can help the people on the forum who wish to swap the c7 seats.
Finally got the passanger seat finished. Fully functioning C7 Corvette competition seats except for airbags, they have been removed. I will start on the driver side this weekend. But I am extremely happy with the results of the passenger side.
