Got some questions about swapping parts..

Okay, so, 9krpm knows about this already, but my 04 GT died with 156,025 miles on the odometer. I bought an 05 Sport to take it's place.
Anyway, I went to swap out my OEM HID's, the harness is different. I searched for a thread detailing a harneses swap or something, and found nothing. Well, whatever, I'll deal with it later.
But, I swapped my leather seats, and have no power seat, or seat heaters.
Does anyone know a fix for this? Or will I have to completely gut the harness out of the other car?

Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks

My first thought is fuses and relays. Make sure both cars have the same, in the same places and they aren't blown or just blanks. I posted in the NKY/Cincy thread about people coming over if they want while we do a set of coilovers for Redsun. You're welcome to come over and we can try to sort it out. We can use my GT as a reference point to see what's missing.

Thanks Fuz!
I actually work at the Valvoline Instant Oil Change in Milford, so that's not too far from me. The girlfriend may be with me, but I don't think she'll mind. haha.
I appreciate the offer. If it works out, I'll more than likely be there.
Thanks!

She's more than welcome to come along. She and my wife can shake their heads and laugh at us together.

Lmaooo, well, it's up to her as far as her coming along.
But, regardless, I have another question, that someone may have already run into.
I swapped my headunit from the GT, and it was equipped with the Blowse stereo, all the connectors were the same in the 05 sport, but, it sounds like total ****.
The sound is muffled, and, you can turn it up to max volume and it simply won't get loud, it's probably to comparable to 8 or 10 on the normal volume table.

Any ideas?
Thanks.

I'm not sure, but i believe the non bose has different speaker and no amps/different amps. You'll need to move everything over to use the bose HU.
