OEM Climate Controlled Seat Install

I bought a 2012 maxima about half a year ago. It did not come with the climate controlled seat option when it was built, and now I wish to install it. I haven't found anybody else pursuing this project. Most people would probably say to get a kit and install it that way, but when I can get two front seats with leather in good condition as well as the OEM climate control for $40 at a junkyard there's really no question. So that's what I did; I got both the driver and passenger seats from a junked maxima with the exact same black leather and red stitching that I have. The seats were pretty easy to remove when using the correct tools (I stripped one of the bolts which made it much more difficult). I also got the control panel located in the center console. I had went into this project hoping that all the wiring was going to be there but of course as life goes, I will have to wire it myself. Luckily I have access to all the wiring diagrams I need. So I got home and I replaced my seats, although I had to replace the railings due to glass being in them (very annoying), I got it done. The connectors that were already in my car fit in to the new seats but of course there is one extra connector I now need. I believe I may have to add extra wires to the current connectors; I will update the thread when I figure that out. Basically the seats move forward, back, up, and down as intended, but I need to get the connector for the climate control working. I am going to update the thread as I figure more out. My next step is to try and remove the OEM wiring from the junk car and somehow wire it to my car. This thread is more of a status; a documentation so people can see my notes and results. If anybody has any help though, I would highly appreciate it.
