Do the recaros use the same connectors on the seat making the 1SS seat harness plug and play?

I purchased a set of Recaro Buckets (and rear) and installed them and did not have to make any harness changes at all, just plugged the seats in and everything worked fine.

My car is a 2016 1SS. The Recaro Seat I bought (off of EBay) came out of a 2018 1LE.
Airbag connector hooked up fine, and the seat connector hooked up fine also. Seat goes up and down, forward and back. |

You need to swap the harness from your stock SS seat with the harness inside the Recaro, then everything will work fine (I am talking about the driver's seat). The passenger seat does not need the harness swapped. Just plug that one in, and it works fine as is.

I think I’m getting second place on the Recaro deals board, took me a week of calling, searching, messaging so. many. people. I found someone who I bought the full 1LE seats front and back for $1,000. And now I’m here for those pictures as promised! I was going with Katzkin but started thinking “how much more could Recaro’s set me back” Very dangerous thinking but I’m happy in the end!

I’ve hit some snags, it was correct to say this is a painful swap.
The way my Recaro’s were removed from the car has left me unable to remove half the harness due to a black metal tube being in the way and not having enough room. The other snag being the seat airbag connector won’t fit through its tiny circle hole because the airbag itself is blocking me. My solution to the airbag connector is taking off the airbag but I need to get a deep socket which is one of 7-10mm sockets so that’ll be fun. The only way I can think of getting the old harness out is using my cloth seat harness and move the chair in correct position which I’m guessing is moving the seat up/down until there’s more room between the black metal tube and the seat itself. I’ve also ordered Gen5DIY’s vented seat harness so hoping that comes soon, I also noticed a second fan on the seat back itself behind the zipped leather, Gen5DIY’s harness doesn’t utilize that fan and it seems to be another different connector. I had thought this bottom fan blew air across both bottom and top portions but I don’t see how it can do that now

It sounds like you bought 2SS 1LE recaros. If you find 1SS recaros then it should be a pain free swap.

I believe the 1SS 1LE Recaros were just like 1SS standard seats. No heating and cooling function so it uses the same wiring harnes. I could be wrong but I swore that I read that some where a while back that did the swap. I believe the first 2 years the 1LE was offered(2017-2018) you could only get it for a 1SS.

——— I was also able to get the seat airbag connector out, it was a 8mm deep socket and 2 nuts, I’ve got to now do the same on my cloth seat and hopefully it’s not as bad with less connectors
