Default switching seat controllers

Hello,

Car is a 2007 3LT.

Are seat memory controllers somehow married to a specific car? Or can you switch them without problem?

I'm thinking about switching between 2 different seats (don't ask, long story). I'd like to have a memory controller on each. I'm just worried the car might freak out when I connect the new controller that isn't the one that came with the car.

Thanks

There have been a number of us that have done the "Kawal Mod" to our Z06s. The C6Z came with a manual passenger seat and no lumbar or bolster bladders. Forum member Ray Kawal pioneered putting C6 seats in the Z06 to get full power everything seats. To my knowledge nobody has had any problems with the memory stuff.

I swapped a pair of C6 seats into my 2006 C6 Z06 to get a power passenger seat and the adjustable lumbar and bolsters on both sides.

I got the C6 seats and swapped my Z06 seat skins onto the C6 seats. For the passenger side I ran a power wire to the passenger seat for the 6-way power adjustments/lumbar/bolsters. On the driver side I just put the new seat in, hooked up all the connectors under the seat, and everything worked perfectly, including all the memory functions.

I think the big problem would be if you tried to put full power seats in a car that originally just had manual seats - you'd probably have to use a Tech 2 to program the BCM to know it was now dealing with power seats, but if your original seats had full power and memory and your other set does too, I don't think the car will care which pair is in there.
