R/R Sport memory seat!!

[westy]

Hi guys,

My '06 RRS has electric seats but does not have the memory facility, can anyone tell me what all the needed componants are to convert the drivers (R/H) seat to have this option, can the componants from a P38 be adapted to fit and integrated into the RRS harness?

Thanks in anticipation,

Westy

Hi guys,

I have posted this in the D3/D4 section but nobody has answered me, maybe you guys know.

Maybe no one knows :). The mods will get you for posting the same question in more than one section :D.

Threads merged. See Gary's comment.

Whilst I've never looked into it, I think the P38A memory feature is part of the BECM, not the seat. Why? Because the two different keyfobs can set the seat to different positions, angle, height, i.e., driver 1 can set the seats and tie it to his keyfob and driver 2 can set the seats differently and tie it to his keyfob.

The memory seats require an outstation controlled from the BECM and feedback pots to tell the system where/how the seat is positioned. They also need information from the gearbox XYZ switch.

Have a look at RAVE for the P38A.

Told you - Ron is always on the prowl ;).

I can answer this one. You can't do it. The memory seat is part of the entire memory pack, that must be included when the car is built (like the e diff).
I purchased a demonstrator 2008 car that dealer informed me had memory seats. Turned out they weren't. Almost gave car back, and LR/Dealer went to fair bit of effort to see if memory seats could be retro fitted. Also went to all specialists. Answer was no. The correct answer was what I did, purchase a 2009 car with memory pack.

Thanks to everyone for their help, special thanks to Ron for merging my posts,

I will keep looking into the electrical system to see if I can either aquire the original parts (incl BECM etc) to fit or "piggy-back" a hybrid system from a P38 into it.

I have ordered a "genuine" RRS workshop manual and will compare that with my P38 Rave Manual electrical circuits.

If it works I'll post the info here and on rangerovers.net

Thanks again.

I would be interested to know where you were able to order a workshop manual and the cost.

I also would be very interested to know where you were able to order a workshop manual from and the cost as I would like one for my D4.

I have searched the net and have only been able to find one that is available for download from youtube. The vendor claims, in broken English, that it is genuine however I have my doubts as it looks a bit doggy so I gave it a miss.

The only genuine one is on line through LR. There have been copies constructed from them but they are never comlete or up to date. I have one and it covers most things. Pay for access for a month and do your research or pay by the day when you need to know something.

Or... Save a bundle and just adjust it
Yourself?

How freakin lazy have we all become :(

There's handy and there's down right sad...

This is right up there :angel:

[Meccles]

It is not about being handy, or lazy. Problem with electric seats is that they have infinite positions. Add in height, tilt, rake, reach. So you get it right, then next driver moves seat to ??? Get back, spend ages mucking around to get it back to where you had it. Then typically when driving spending more time adjusting. With mechanical seats it is easy. The number of positions are dictated by tracks etc and by rake adjuster. Normally if only two drive the car, you learn fairly quickly what is required. But once someone completely different drives it (like after a service) you are back to square one.

Thanks Meccles,
you are correct and I am not lazy but am pretty handy being an "A" grade mechanic.

Both my wife and I each use the car daily she is 5'1" & i'm 5'10" so the seats MUST be moved every time either of us get to move it or drive it somewhere, so thanks for your interest but in future if you cant help someone just keep your ignorant comments to yourself, this forum doesnt need your kind of crap.
