Hi Everyone ,
I have been told by a few wreckers and a few secondhand dealers that 159 ti electric seats will go straight into a non ti 159  and have full electric functionality.  Apparently, all the electrics are already  built into the wiring loom, so I have been told.
Is this true? Has anybody had any experience with this?
My car is a late 2011 2.4 diesel wagon .
Thanks  to everyone advance.

Dig around below the front seats. There should be a loose connector hidden under the carpet somewhere. If its there (which it would be just part of the wiring loom) you're good to go. No other reason for it to not hook straight up and bolt into same anchor points.

Hi Frank,
Did you end up trying this out?
Last November, spent 3 hours trying to get Ti electric seats to work in my Non Ti with Manual seats.
AFAIK, only MY06-MY07 159's had a spare connector below the seats.
Mine is a 2009, and it didn't have a connector below the seats. If yours is a late model 159, it might be similar.
Tapping the somewhere on the loom for power, is something I didn't want to do.
Was lucky enough to find a set of Ti Manual seats for my 159.
