Review: Cobra Nogaro seats (uniquely street friendly fixed back bucket seat)

oops nevermind

Matt-
Do you have the part numbers for the connectors at the seat motors and for the connector that clips into that big yellow plug?

Would you know the part numbers for the pins as well?

Thanks!

I do not. BK provides these with their kit.

I just finished wiring my Pole Positions with BK mounts for OE electric sliders. I also fitted a new Airbag Occupancy Sensor.

Follow up question- how did you do the wiring? The sliders I got have everything, but no wiring, so I need plugs and pigtails at the very least.

The B-K brackets have the wiring pinout for the E30 switch, but the instructions are completely unclear about the actual seat motors- labeled I, II, III and IV.

Looks like I need to get an E30 pigtail for the window switch and pigtails for the two connectors on the power seat motor in order to make this work. Any advice on sources? I'll be searching on Google, Ebay, etc.

IIRC the motors only have two wires that matter (the thick ones), and which way you run the current determines which way the motor moves.

That said, I don't remember how I did the wiring anymore, and my car is on 2x manual sliders at this point.

That is unfortunate .. nothing about it is hard, but sourcing the connectors and making a custom harness requires some creativity and research. Not most peoples' strong suit when they can just complain to customer service.

I’m sure I could figure it out, and if I had questions I would ask you guys, not HMS. No worries tho, I never used the seat heaters when I had the stock seats…just wanted the seat heater buttons to be functional lol.

Pretty much both rails but best bet is to find someone parting out a car locally or junk yard

Who here is responsible for this?! Show thyself!! 😂

”It became a customer service nightmare, wrong connectors, things were different or didn’t work. Hours on the phone, diagnosing and helping someone who was no idea about working on electrical systems to get it going. Elements became hard to get. It wasn’t worth the time and angry customers.

You can certainly add it yourself as the cushions just Velcro’s out and you can add them underneath and run the wire down and out the front of the seat.”

Hmm, not sure why Cobra can’t offer that anymore. I’ll let y’all know what he says.

yep, I happen to have my passenger seat next to me at the moment:

Working on getting a quote from HMS, and this is what they said about seat heaters. How was Cobra able to offer heaters to y’all previously??

”Seat heaters are not really an option with the circuit as the hole for the sub would become useless. All we have is a generic seat heater and don’t offer any OEM options anymore.”

Cobra added an update extra hole on the seat to pass the wiring for the seat heater (and the lumbar air line).

I found a junkyard selling a pair of sedan sliders, hoping that this will work out perfectly. Too bad I can't just re-use my existing sliders, but if that solves the lap belt issue, then that will make it much easier.

You can reuse your existing sliders-- the outside lapbelt just bolts to the bolt where the lower portion of the shoulder harness attaches to the floor. The downside is the belt doesn't move with the seat if you do that, but you can do it if you want to reuse your coupe sliders.
