You'd also have to check you have the correct loom installed under the seat.

I know where it is but what it looks like???

Push your seat back as far as it will go and there is a plastic cover which can be unclipped and it should reveal the connections that the plug for the seat would fit into.

It may be but I am aware of a change on 2007/2008 cars so the plug may not match. This happened to the member who had my ED30 seats. Plug was there but wouldn't fit! :sad1:
