Driver seat difference 05 to 06

Hello!

 

Does anyone know for the 8 way power driver seat if there were any differences between the 2005 and the 2006 models, specifically with the cushion frame?

 

 

Searching opposedforces I get the following:

and

Just trying to figure out if I should risk ordering the part for the 2006 or not. The front height adjustment bracket has cracked.

 

Thanks!

Different airbags for sure.

Ok, good to know a 06 seat won't swap into an 05. Mostly concerned with that specific base frame piece though.

I swapped in an 07 seat into an 05, just had to change the power connector.

So the airbag does work? That's different from unclematt's statement.

 

Anyway, I'm specifically looking to learn if the cushion frame that's highlighted in green in the OP attached image is transplantable from an 06 seat.

 

The 05 part is discontinued and I don't really need a whole new seat, and at this point it's unlikely I'll find a good condition SpecB seat to swap in.

I got no lights after swapping the seat in. The driver's side is a straight swap with changing the power connector. The passenger seat is not that simple. I haven't crashed the car to test if the air bag works.

A little nudge here - parts for 06 seats are still available but before I buy those it would be really nice to see if anyone has had both an 05 and an 06 seat apart to see the internal differences with the cushion frame and power/rail unit.
