How to power front seat inside a house?

[nVIceman]

I wanted to get a Stinger seat (due to comfort and adjustability) to use inside my house. Is it practical to get it powered someway somehow to be able to adjust and even use the fans if I got a seat that had that? Thanks.

Hey there, I realize it's been 3 years since the last reply in this but I'm trying to do the same thing now and figured it's worth a shot. Would you be able to do a write up on how you wired just for the main motors/side switches to work? I'm sure I can figure it out but got very lost in all of the posts of this thread

Yes I would love that too! I'm trying to put seats in my nissan and having trouble getting motors to work

Did either of you guys have any luck getting a write up on this? I currently have my seat so it works in all directions but don't have lumbar or bolster adjustment. I also haven't figured out the ventilated or heated part yet.

I just happened to be cleaning my inbox up and noticed the replies in this thread. I do still use this seat 3 years later, has worked fine the whole time. I'm not sure what isn't in the thread that is missing to help anyone and it's been so long, I don't recall everything, but I do have some notes about stuff that might be helpful. What are you all needing exactly?

Were you able to get everything to work included lumbar and bolster adjustment? Also were you able to get the seat heater and ventilation to work?

I've accounted for all 16 pins/wires in the main FS11 connector. They go to IMS, lumbar aircell module, fan blower, seat warmer, and BODY-CAN for both IMS/Lumbar Aircell Module.

I would like to get the fan going, but it doesn't work with just power and ground, need to connect into the speed control wire, not sure what device to use for that. I'm thinking some kind of switch that can cycle through the speeds.

Seat Warmer would be nice in the winter, but not a priority, so unless simple enough to wire now, may defer.

It looks like you figured out what all 16 pins were on the main connector. Is there any chance you kept note of what each one was?

I got all that to work except for the heater. It seemed more complicated and unnecessary, as I am generally fighting getting to warm vs being too cold, so I deferred it, but I don't think I'll revisit it unless it was clear how to get it going.

I had this saved regarding the pins. Everything passed separator was unused by me.
