I'm on a mission to fit aftermarket seats in my XKR.

I'm trying to get an idea of the problems I'll be faced with regarding error messages on the dash from missing airbags, and memory positions.
I've seen a few guys post pics of the chassis shells of our Jags being built, would any of you know of diagrams or pics of what's inside our seats?

I'm hoping to get an insite so I can get planning.

 

Hey Johnnnnnnny, dunno if it'll help much or not, but all I can think o is Rev Sams "how to" videos for the headrest repair.......I'm sure he pretty much takes the seats apart if I remember correctly?

May help some?

The seats get ever more complex with each model. Here's the control diagrams for the front seats in your XKR:





As you can see, everything links through the DSM.

The biggest challenge with replacement seats is likely to be the Hall Effect Sensors (item 16 for the Driver and item 14 for the passenger) which interface with the Supplementary Restraint System for the AirBags and anything affecting CAN interfaces to other vehicle systems.

Nice assist Graham, although I'm only seeing Red X's for some reason?

 

Not sure if they will help but here are some.

 

Wow thanks guys, this is why this forum is so wonderful. I never ever thought I'd find a seat diagram. I'm super happy now.

I'm going to forward this to Tom @ TL Jag who has the task of doing this!

 

Jim,

If the graphics are replaced with a Red X on a white background, you may have gone a little OTT with configuring your AdBlockers.

Don't the seats that have a cooled option have an air filter too?

 

Added to the FAQ ( HOW TO ) section for future use.

 

Hi guys....... Just putting this out there..... I'm re-joining the Jag crew after selling my wife's S type r a year ago. Looking at getting an x150 soon. I'm a Contract engineer currently working for Lear Corp in the UK as a current product engineer......... Lear make most of the jag seats so feel free to ask any questions and hopefully I can help........ Certainly used this forum in the past for help and be glad to return the favour.

 

You could well be my angel with the help I need. We're trying to figure out a way to over come all the error messages I'll get on the dash once I take these seats out. I'm hoping there will be an easy electrical quick fix? Maybe make some circuits to confuse the ECU into thinking the airbags are still there. Also the memory seat issue.

The other option is to strip the old seats down and keep the motors hidden somewhere also the airbags.

Maybe you could ask your team their best advice on this one. I'm super keen the get my after market seats fitted
