VF Seats in a VE?

[cewing]

I can't speak for the airbags but the electric seat part of the electronics should work fine - just cut and solder the 12v wires.

Edit. Just thinking about the airbags, both the ve and vf bags should detonate on 12v... Check the resistance of both airbags- the car uses this to check they are connected.. If it's similar they are probably compatible. Just need to chop the connectors and join them.

VE S1 have a number of different wiring configs.
VE S2 have more again.

VF, more again as above states.

So S1 seats will not just plug straight into the wiring of an S2? Do you know if you can make it work, and what's required?

My suggestion was to turn the seat over and swap the motors and wiring from your VE seats over to the VF seat you have.
What I am uncertain about is if the airbag would still function.

Does anyone know if you can put Maloo foam one the VE SS base?

No its not a straight swap, i tried doing the same in my car. you have to weld the ve rails to the vf seat

Has anyone actually done this swap as I'm looking at putting VF Maloo seats in my series 1 VE ute but want to know the pitfalls before buying the seats

Looking to replace two front seats in a 2012 VE SS series 2 ute with 2 front seats from a VF. Are these as simple as a bolt out of the exisiting VE seats, and bolt in job with the VF's? The VF seats are from a calais, I believe that the seats in the SV6, SS and Calais are all the same, and there are no difference from the sedan to ute? just some models have more leather then others?
Will the electronics from the VF seat plug straight in to that of the VE?
Any impact of the airbags?
Appreciate the feedback.
Thanks.
