Bought a Model 3 seat for use in my house as a chair... how do I power it?

[TMThree]

Bit of a weird question, but anyone know off hand if I just need to tap one of the wires in the harness and give it 12V?

Without power, it's going to be a pain as you can't recline it.

That would be logical, just need a schematic to know which wire colors are the power

make sure you disable the airbag.

Are there leads coming out of the motor(s)?

Other people complain about the seat and "headrest" but you like the seat so much that you buy one just so you can sit in your Tesla seat inside your home. That's dedication.

Watch this and maybe email the creator -- it should be helpful and likely applicable even though it is for a model X. Start around 4:30 I think.

It's a full chair, so it has wiring harnesses.

I dislike the model 3 seat in that it isn't ventilated. But in the house, you're never subjected to sitting in a chair that was baking for hours at 120 degrees. Also I find the seat comfortable - just not great once I've been sitting more than 2 hours. And at home that also isn't an issue.

Just thought this was be a cool thing to have instead of just a "TESLA" banner in the garage that everyone does.

Ever find out how to power this thing? I'm wanting to do the same thing, but not being able to adjust it as a dealbreaker.
