G37 Shiftgate / Armrest in G35 - Anyone done this?

[ericksontx]

Has anyone done this? Have a center shift console from a 2012 G37 sedan and thinking about putting it into my 2008 G35S.

The easy problems:
-Front 12V power socket uses 3-prong socketed plug in G35. G37 uses standard offset 2-blade connection w common ground.
-Cargo box can accept the 3-RCA A/V connector module with a little bit of work, the cutout area is already there.
-USB socket in G37 is not compatible of course, but just going to cut a hole to mount the iPod connector assembly in place of it.
-connector for the shiftgate lights etc is the same

The problem I need help with!! -

The seat warmer controls. Late model G37 has variable speed (actually not infinite variable, just more stops than Lo and Hi like the G35's) seat warmer control dials. On the underside they use different connectors with more pins than the seat warmer control modules on the G35.

My questions -
Has anyone done this mod before? Any tips appreciated.

-Where can I get the G37 seat warmer control connectors or what p/n or used wiring harness am I looking for, in order to steal some off of to make some patched/adapted wiring?

-Are the seat warming systems compatible? I assume there are more pins because they correspond to there being more stops/choices on the seat warming intensity on the G37's control. Is it as simple as me simply wiring it so that two of the stops on each dial correspond to the Lo and Hi that are on the G35's?

-Lastly where can i find pinouts for both the G35 and G37 (2010+) seat warmer controls?

Any help appreciated. Thanks!!

Not sure what's compatible with what...but check out the different FSMs (link in my sig). But, I would think that it would work. Probably just a different type of resistor to select the temp.

Great, thanks for the reply. Also any suggestions as to where I would get the connectors for the G37 seat heater controls (i.e. for me to create my own custom wired connector). Buy the whole seat wiring harnesses used off ebay or is there some way to source just those connectors or wiring ends? Thanks

You may have to solder them with butt-joints. But, there's always ebay or a junk yard.

This may be the quickest. There are lots of parts on ebay now from flood cars. Find someone on there selling a large number of parts and shoot them a email. You might get someone willing to source the individual components.....may be at a premium to cover labor though.
