HI Bobby
you have to be carefull on the choice of seats, the mercedes has a narrow seat area and the seat has to sit low but astride the cross member. I chose the jag xj8 seats as they have rails with mounting holes only 17 inches across but the rails then selves are long so I could mount behind the cross member and adjust forward on the motors.

I wired directly into ignition power (switched power) for the seat motors and the head rest motor. I am just looking for scrap heater switches at the junk yard to wire in the seat heaters. all of the jag electrics are mounted on the seat including all of the switches, relays and heater thermostat (another reason to choose the jag seats) so the only thin I have to get is the heater switches.

I am currently helping a friend replace his seats with some out of an audi a4 so will also post on how that goes.
cheers
Barri
