very much appreciated
MU5Z-14C708-J and it costs $261.67 retail, and would likely need to be programmed by a dealer. also needed to add memory functions you need to replace the wiring harness inside your door plus replace the actual door panel, which is a whole thing.| Address | New Values (x = leave as-is) | Functions |

So I really can't believe that someone living right near me had the exact seats I wanted and wanted the exact seats I had. An 18 year old (with an 18 year old back) traded me his power DH seats in matching color for my Recaro HD seats.assuming yours is a 700A, the good news is you don't need a new body wiring harness, which is a huge 1-piece wiring harness (pictured here in pink)
that harness alone is over $1000 retail and you would spend much more than that in labor to have it installed. it seems, however, that you might need a different part. the part number isMU5Z-14C708-Jand it costs $261.67 retail, and would likely need to be programmed by a dealer. that part seems to be in any vehicle with heated and cooled seats, but it's not in vehicles with only heated seats. the hard part is that it seems that every vehicle with heated and cooled seats also has memory functions, and to add memory functions you need to replace the wiring harness inside your door plus replace the actual door panel, which is a whole thing. it's possible that module is not required for the heated/cooled seats, though.
anyways, back to the seats themselves, the connectors should be the same, so in theory it's just put them in, plug them in, change some programming, and it's done. of course, that is just a theory and it could be more complicated.
there's another hard part here, do the new seats have a pre-programmed DSM (Driver Seat Module) and PSM (Passenger Seat Module)? that's something that can only be found out from plugging in the seat and seeing what modules respond to FORScan. a third hart part is getting that module i mentioned earlier programmed if it needs to be; the program used to do that requires a VIN and will not allow a module to be programmed if it's not supposed to be there, so you would need to hope the dealer has a 200A, 201A, 400A, 401A, or 700A Mustang without recaros and not mind doing some weird stuff with swapping out, programming, and re-swapping that module. here's some of the programming you would need to do with FORScan. i am not responsible if any of this does not work or causes damage.
APIM (SYNC System):
note that the old values are assumptions based on what ive seen is usually there. if that "7D0-02-01" value ends up being 2 standard instead of 0, you will want to put the new value as "A" instead of "8"
Address Old Values New Values (x = leave as-is) Functions 7D0-02-01 xxxx-x0xx-xxXX xxxx-x8xx-xxXX Adds heated/cooled seat buttons to the infotainment 7D0-09-01 xxxx-xxxx-AxXX xxxx-xxxx-FxXX Adds remote start auto climate control seat functions (automatic transmission only)
in my opinion, i say try changing these values and installing the seats. if it works, that's great. if not, oh well. but it's not really worth the bodging and weirdness of trying to get them to work like factory. plus, again, this is all just theorycrafting
MU5Z-14C708-J part Rocket researched (thank you SO much). Ugh. I'm not going to worry about the seat memory function unless dealer says relatively easy (prolly is easy but another thousand bucks).
if you dont care about the memory function, all you need to do is the FORScan stuff. no new module required AFAIK. Ford calls that part "Module - Seat Memory"So I really can't believe that someone living right near me had the exact seats I wanted and wanted the exact seats I had. An 18 year old (with an 18 year old back) traded me his power DH seats in matching color for my Recaro HD seats.
I simply bolted old out and removed Recaros. Disconnected battery, bolted in new seats, in and re-connected the 2 connectors under eat seat.
Reconnected battery and electric immediately works. Ahhhhhh, lumbar support. However, I was hoping that the connection would automatically cue the dash to display the heat / cool controls for the seat. It does not. So I guess I'll have to either do the Forscan hack and / or get theMU5Z-14C708-Jpart Rocket researched (thank you SO much). Ugh. I'm not going to worry about the seat memory function unless dealer says relatively easy (prolly is easy but another thousand bucks).
researching Forscan right now. I have OBD and an old OBD to USB-A connector from when I did my Bronco. Right now it's saying it can't recognize/find my PCM?
Private Message me a screenshot of what it says and a picture of the cable you are using
Man, go buy a lottery ticket, like NOW !!!It all works. Thank you @roket for your detailed help in the message board. So kind and helpful of u.
