Default 06 escalade seats into 2011

Anyone tried it or know how they fit. The electronics are no problem I got that where everything will work. We just picked up a rolled over 06 escalade with a mint set of seats in her. They are waaay more comfy then the seats in my 2011 it's a SLT with the suposedly premium seating that feels like driving on a park bench.

If you've tried or contemplated all ideas welcome.

Should definitely fit. Worst case scenario is you have to trade the rails on the bottom of the seats. Ive been thinking about maybe switching to vette seats

Fitment aside (anything is possible), it is quite possible you will still need to swap out or at least install the seat pressure sensors (pads) from the new truck into the old seats for the air-bags to function properly. The sensors or pads are located under the seat covers and aren’t too terrible to swap out. You may have noticed that your passenger side air bag doesn’t activate without a passenger in the vehicle and if so this is why, because of the sensors that are in place.

They do fit. I'm going to start trying to integrate the electronics and make it all work as I have time. Stockers are back in for now. Mine has all the bells and whistles and I want it all to work stock when done. It's doable I just gotta have time to tinker at a later date.

You can donate your '11 Escalade seats to me, if they're air conditioned! lol

I thought the Escalades got the A/C seats? Or is that an option and not standard equipment?
