Default Memory seats retrofit

Hello guys,
I have searched the forum for a while and found few posts where people tried to retrofit memory seat to non-memory seat cars, but none of them actually completely resolved the problem. I have just fitted memory seats from sport premium model 2008 to my 2006 SE and the drivers seat does not work at all, plus heated seat does not work too, so the little led on heated seat button. I know there is additional grey plug on memory seat cars and would like to ask you guys to give me some guidance on which wires go where in order to get the seat and heater back to work. There are 12 wires on 16 pin grey plug. Please let me know where they need to go,
Any help will be much appreciated and I will post some pictures once it's all done,
Many thanks,

I have gone through that post many times, but it only tells you to connect green/yellow wires to ecu, but it does not specify exactly where, also where all the other wires go?

Btw, have you looked to make sure you have fuses installed for the seats (by your model year)?

Hello, yes I did, all fuses there and all in good nick. I will try to run the two wires (green and yellow to the centre console and connect them to climate control, I have noticed that on my black connector in the car I have one more wire than actually goes onto new seat and it's a thick orange and green wire, it's right on the corner of the plug. Maybe I need to connect it to one of 12 wires in the grey plug.
