Default 2018 Recaro power seats in 2016 WRX base?

Anyone have the wiring diagram for the 2018 Recaro power seats? My 2016 WRX base does not have powered or heated seats and I have the chance to get both front seats out of a 2018 STI.

I need to.....

1. Get power for the powered driver seat.
2. Wire the two seat heaters to an STI seat heater switch I already have with the accompanying connector.
3. Get a new wiring harness?

Anyone do this in a base model?

Did you ever get this done? I plan on swapping my 15 base wrx with a 16 or 17 sti with heated seats. I bought the wrx switches for the center console but not sure how to wire it up since my harness underneath the seats don't have the plug. Let me know. Thanks.

Not yet. I have YET to get an concrete answer on this. I'm not blowing 1K on new Recaro seats when I'm not sure that I can get the connections done to use the heaters and the seat.

The fronts are the last thing I need to swap over for a full STI conversion, so I have no problem waiting until I get an answer.

Cool Help with power seat wiring

I'm doing a seat project with my 2018 STI (gonna install Recaro Sportster CS). I've gotten a ton of help from 541 Motorsports in regards to wiring harnesses, seat heater pads, occupant sensors and more. https://541motorsports.com/ - they answer their phone, too.
