Default Help with switching interior

I've just bought a set of leather seats for my 2006 IS250 AWD base model which has electric seats for the driver only. Now the seats I bought are electric for both the driver and passenger and also has the ventilation. Does anyone know if I plug this up and add the heater controls will they function? Also I'm assuming these have memory in them also since they came from an IS350 with Nav, this is last on my priorities to implement and getting the power seats to work on both seats is my first concern and getting the heating to work would be a plus.

I would assume you would have play with the fuse box.

Memory is a wonderful thing, IMHO. I had it on my '93 SC300, and didn't have it on my '03 Infiniti G35 Coupe. Boy did I miss it. I now have it again on my IS-F, and really did not realize how nice it is. The flip away steering wheel is probably the best feature, again IMHO. If you can get this feature to work, GREAT

IIRC there's a body ECU that controls all this stuff. If your car didn't come with it you're not gonna get memory and such that didn't come on the car to work just by plugging in a fuse.

There's probably some way to connect the electric power on the seats to make those work though.

Electric controls work...plug and play...I'm doubting that the memory seats will work but am still hoping for heated and ventilated. =) Note to others...drivers seat from IS350 do not fit the IS250 AWD...the rails are different...trying to figure out now if there's a simple tranfer of mechanisms from one seat to the other but not looking good.
