Tadek Janczykowski Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 (edited) Hi guys, I own DJ 2009 SE. i would like to replace seats with the leather ones from R/T. Is it just plug and play or there are specific sizes etc ? Those leather ones I've found are from 7ppl diesel 2009. The driver seat has electronic settings, mine is manual.Is it even possible?

jkeaton Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 I'm sure it is possible. Not sure if you have the air bags in the seats on either one, but I've heard on other vehicles, disconnecting the electrical connector will set off the air bag light and only the dealer can reset it. Probably the brackets are the same since the only changes are appearance. dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tadek Janczykowski Posted June 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 Yeah, Both of them have airbags. How about the electonic settings vs manual one? Is there just a cable that I should connect or its more complicated? dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkeaton Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 Im so sick of cloth... Look under the seat and see if a connector is there. Otherwise, you will have to figure out how to run a wiring harness to it. dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tadek Janczykowski Posted June 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 There are a lot of wires on the right side. However I guess they are for the airbag? dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dhh3 Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 You could always go with a set from Katzkin Leather. You can purchase a set through your dealer, or on their website. Pricing is salty, but they would be made for your seats and you wouldn't have to be concerned with any electronics. Search eBay: dodgejourneyleather. I found a set for my Nitro at a dealer in NY. Someone ordered them, but never had them installed. I got them for what the dealer paid for them, and had a local upholstery shop install them. Then, I resold my cloth coverings on eBay. jkeaton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tadek Janczykowski Posted June 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 Yeah, I've read about the Katzkins... However I can buy a set of seats for aprox $400 and Katzkins are at least twice as much... BTW: I've dig the e-bay and found some used OEM leather covers, does it mean you can take them of? So in case the electronics etc won't fit I can just "switch" the covers? dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhh3 Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 Yes, you can just switch the covers. There is a tool that you need to reattach the new covers to the seats, and it is a lot easier to remove the seats to swap out the covers. The seats that have air bags in them: the material is designed to split as the air bag inflates. I would compare year to year as to what changes were made with side bolster air bags and active headrests. Even if it were cheaper to purchase the whole seat set, shipping would have to be figured in. The Katzkin covers for my Nitro came in a big box. jkeaton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
