Are the 2 headrests interchangable? i'd like to have the comfort seat headrest (for the neck thingy) but i have the premium package - power seats & headrests w/ lumbar.

and if so, does naybody have the part number/price? leather would be black.

HEY! I never thought about that... the Confort Seats Head rests are awesome! I wonder if it can be done... and worth while... will it have any affects on the active head restraint?

Somewhere months ago ... there was a thread that said it was impossible. The connectors are totally different.

This mod is not possible. I tried it at the start of the year and the thickness of the support poles is totally different - comfort poles are thicker than those on the sport. You cannot simply switch the headrest between poles either as the method of attachment for each design is completely different.

If you want comfort headrests you need comfort seats.

This topic has been discussed a lot in the last 12 months so if you do a thread search you will see the feedback on the two designs.

Normal and sportseats have the same headrests. So for normal seats it isn't possible too..
