I own a 03 accord 4dr Lx and just recently bought the full leather interior found in the Ex's. Was wondering if anyone had any experience in installing them? Are the seats simply plug and play, because they are powered and heated? Or if anyone has a downloadable service manual I could use.....

 

I did the cloth to leather swap on my car. It's a sixth gen, but the concept is the same. I doubt it will be plug and play (in my car it wasn't...there was no power plugs for the car since it didn't come with power seats).

It's a great mod, I love the leather. Make sure you get a leather steering wheel to go with the seats, we 6th gen owners can use TL-S perforated wheels, that's what I have. But a 7th gen Accord leather wheel would be great. Much better than the injected plastic one that came on my LX.

I just did some simple custom wiring to get power (and heat in your case) to the new seats. I got lucky and got both ends of the wiring harnesses with my seats. That way I could hardwire the the harness into the car, so if I ever need to remove the seats for any reason, it'll just be a matter of unplugging them.

I have the service manual for my 99 I4, and obtained the service manual V6 supplement (my seats came out of a EXV6) but that really didn't help...it ended up that the color of the wires didn't match anyway. But I was able to figure it out and it turned out sweet.

I posted a thread here, but a thread I posted on another forum ended up having more pics/better description, so check it out:
