Suggestion

I looked at replacing my 996 seats with heated 997 seats, is a fairly big task if you don't already have the connections for heated seats, you need relays and wiring looms etc, I gave up in the end and just installed 997 seats without heat

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I've spent a few days changing my 996 12 way comfort seats out and replacing with my 986 Sports seats, which I've had the backs sprayed body colour. All complete, re-wired and all good. Have replaced the 986's seats with Pole Positions and brought heated pads to go with them. Trying now to wire these in and trying to find out how to buy new pins for the connectors, so that I can 'plug and play' with the old, in place loom. I've spent hours today trawling the web for 2.5mm pins for Porsche 996/986, without any joy whatsoever. I know the switches don't work the same way and I've come up with a plan for that. It's just the pins I want, the Pole Positions came with new connectors. Can anyone help? Thank you.

POST 2Original post

Try this vendor. They've helped a couple of members here before. https://www.ebay.co.uk/str/3waycomponents/Bosch/_i.html?store_cat=8164163011

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thank you, I'll try and call them. Does anyone know if the 'Deutsch' pins advertised on this eBay site are the same as the Porsche ones?

POST 4Original post

https://www.vehiclewiringproducts.co.uk/ Have proved invaluable for me in the past. See if they can help?

POST 7Original post

I read something the other day suggesting they are Deutsch connectors, see https://www.te.com/usa-en/plp/deuts...=2&samples=N&inStoreWithoutPL=false&instock=N

POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yes, both my 986 and 996 were wired for and had heated seats, so the connections, power etc, were already there. I haven't managed to work out how to get new pins, so in the end just wired the heated pads for the Pole Positions off the pre connector wires. Now all complete and working. But thanks to all who contributed.
