I'm looking at a 2012 997 manual turbo
I've been hunting for a while .. Finally found
One though I wanted heated and cooled
Seats This car has neither
Can I change out seats and add buttons on
Dash?

 

Yes but the car will need to be coded
What color interior?

 

Thank you for the reply
Black interior
Do I need and rewriting?

 

I can recall that heating was the only option, cooling was not available yet in the 997 models.

Cheers,

 

I think vented seats were first available on the 2009 (997.1) Turbo and on the 997.2 (all models)...but not sure what "plumbing" is needed to add - heated less of a problem since its just wiring.

 

the car I am looking at is a 2012

 

Find another car, there are plenty with heated and cooled seats.

 

I'm finding it difficult to find a manual
Car with under 7,000 miles

 

Yes with a manual it is. Drive a PDK and it might change your mind, it did mine.

 

I did try pdk I felt like I was just steering . I also have a 2014 cayenne turbo

 

I don't know from personal experience with the 997, but I do from the 996. Porsche generally builds cars with a wiring harness specific to that car and the options. As a result, it's unlikely that the new heated seats will be "plug and play". Maybe this changed for the 997, but I'd be surprised if you didn't need to modify the wiring to add heated seats.

 

I would call a dealer for specifics on the fitting and see what you are up against before purchasing.

Regarding another comment about manual vs. PDK...I think the turbo was perfectly engineered to fit with the PDK. I believe the manual is engaging, maybe a different drive experience, but for maximum performance I would choose the PDK every time. Plus, I would go "S" for the extra stuff, e.g. PCCB.

Good luck

 

I have heated and cooled seats and might be interested in a swap for some sport seats. Also have black interior

 

Subscribed. Would like to know if it's plug n play on my CPO'd '09 997.1 MT TT. Did not come from the factory with heated or ventilated seats. But if it's already prewired, it's good to know. Especially, if I keep this beauty & decide to add heated & ventilated seats in the future.
