Its been 13 years - the front tan leather drivers seat has aged and in need of replacement - Checked around the Sydney Area and cant find a good replacement so keen to leverage your experience:
I am thinking a later model (say 2011 Accord euro) leather seat may work - will it fit and would the electric heated seat function still work. - if not will the modifications be significant?
Many thanks

 

Welcome to the forum. Have you looked into an upholstery shop. 2008-2012 eighth gen accords should work with each other. If the seat you swap with has heated seats then the swap will work. If no heat on yours, some times there is a wire set up but may not have a switch.

 

Thanks - I have a 2007 CL9 luxury model that does have heated seats - would you know if the rails are the same with a 2011 accord euro or just the accord? - I cant seem to find the data anywhere
I would think that the connectors for the heated seat would be identical - it just would be the rails and the locating channels.
I tried calling honda - the cant give me this info
I have a upholsterer that I have connected with - he wants an arm and a leg - as opposed to the second hand seat which is much cheaper.

 

Look at Wikipedia on your Year Honda and they are grouped into generations and years. If you decide to use a heated seat from a different generation. You may need the seat tracks and wire connectors and need to measure the bolt down of the used seat tracks for the used seat.
