FINALLY!!!!!!!!!! I am done. Everything works just fine and man what a difference these seats make. They make long drives much more comfortable than my sport seats did.
I can now answer any question anyone would ever want to know about comfort seats. They are actually quite an engineering feat underneath the covers. I will try to work on getting the pics posted very soon.

I'll be interested in your chronicles when you get to them

Do you know if all comfort seats are made already containing the heating elements for heated seats? My car has comfort seats but no seat heating and I was wondering about the possibility of a retrofit but only if the seats already contain the elements...... otherwise too expensive 
Thanks
Thanks

Sorry but heated seats must present in the main wire harness or the retrofit is very hard. If your car does not have heated seats then you are looking at several steps to complete a retro and many thousands of dollars.
By the way....I do not own a body shop.
I just finished killing all of the airbag error messages last night. I have one message left to address that I think is my fault. I forgot to hook up the gas cartridge in the headrest. I am getting a "Firing circuit resistance too low" error. I'll have that cleaned up in no time. Self dignosis is soooo nice.

Awesome, but how are you resetting the fault messages yourself? Do you have some sort of diagnosis tool for this? If so, where can I get it?

Yes I have diagnosis/coding software. Not CIP coding. Just basic initialization/component replacement coding and diagnostic/error correction functions.

Hi ledbettm,
And any other friend of the forum, who know thinks about the Comfort seat retrofitting.
Now its time to help me, with your experience.
My comfort seats are on the way. I will receive them next week.
Now i have the semi electric heated seats, with lumbar support, without memory.
What extras do you think, I need to do the transformation. Does the 1-2 key memory will work?
Do you think it will be ok?
Thanks in advance.
Nick

Maybe ledbettm is too upset about the Colts' loss to the Steelers to respond? 
Then again, he might be celebrating since he spends so much time in Pittsburgh...
ledbettm, are you okay?
