(I think I know the answer to that... )
When the car had the original comfort seats, I can testify that pushing the 'magic' button simply moved the front passenger seat. Hannah (my mate Sue's daughter) used to regularly scare her mum doing that. It also came in handy on one other occasion when transporting someone wearing one of those plastic boots (for a foot injury).

Hi,
The wiring for the the passenger seat movement control is only an adapter which is plugged in under the passenger seat between the engine for the seat adjustment and the switch of the passenger-seat.
Remove it and use it for your "new" passenger-seat.

If you dont remove the Adapter, the "old" passenger-seat will not work, if you connect it to a car wirhout the switch at the rear-seats.

Regards Stefan

Hi Stefan,

Thanks for this I had come to the same conclusion by looking at the wiring diagrams, however the original seats with the adapter are long gone. I have effectively made a new adapter cable to do the same job
