Dual leather power seat conversion from non-power?

What's up guys, I'm heading out later on today to check out a 2001 Max SE. I have a 2000 SE with 210k miles on it and it's pretty much gone beyond repair so I'm using it as a donor car for this new Max.

The 01 that I'm looking at has gray cloth interior and as I can see in the pictures the passenger seat is NOT a power seat. Not sure if the drivers seat is or not.

The leather on my 2000 is mint so I was hoping to swap it over to this new Max eventually, the only thing is I'm not sure if this is possible due to this new Max not having power seats (suspicious there won't be a harness/module to connect the power seats to)

Was basically just wondering if there's a way to put these power seats into this factory non-powered Maxima, seeing if anyone out there has done this swap/ could send a link to it.

Thanks in advance

All maxes DO NOT come pre-wired, however its very easy to run a wire into the fuse box and tap into a fuse(at least 10A) or use a fuse tap to get some power to the seat, I also ran the heated seats this way.

The other thing to keep in mind is side air bags integrated into the seat. Not sure if all leather seats have this, but something to check into.

Only 01-03 come with airbag integration in the seats. I believe ALL SE models come prewired probably because they have the most "options" to choose from. You will see them taped up. The passenger side has a "plug and play" set up to hook up your power seat.

Not exactly correct...my 2000 has integrated airbags in the leather seats. I have a GLE.

If the leather seats have air bags in them and the op's car was not equipped, I don't see it as being an issue. The air bags won't be connected to crash sensors and won't ever deploy.

I have a 02 SE with all cloth inside. Found a 02 SE in the junk yard with leather so I grabbed all of it. The passanger side seat plugged and play. However the wring harness from the car doesn't match up to the seat. How can I fix this?
