Electrically Reclining Rear Seats Retrofit for JLR Vehicles

Transform your rear cabin into a first‑class lounge with our electrically reclining rear seats retrofit kit. Replace fixed or manually adjusted seat backrests with factory‑grade power recline, giving your passengers the ability to find their perfect position at the touch of a button. This upgrade mirrors the original luxury seating option and integrates seamlessly with your vehicle’s existing electrical architecture.

Passenger Comfort, Perfected

The electrically reclining mechanism allows each passenger to fine‑tune the seat backrest angle independently. On long motorway journeys, they relax in a more laid‑back posture; in urban traffic, they sit upright for better visibility. The difference in perceived room and fatigue reduction is immediate, turning every rear seat into an executive business‑class experience.

How the System Works

Our kit replaces the standard manual or fixed recline mechanism with silent, high‑torque OEM motors. A dedicated control module processes input from the new seat‑side switches (or the original factory switches, if present) and drives each backrest smoothly through its full range of motion. The harness connects directly to the vehicle’s CAN bus network, allowing the seats to communicate with the body control module just as they would in a vehicle built with this option from the factory.

The system powers up with the ignition and provides progressive, stepless adjustment from an upright position to a deeply reclined angle—up to 28 degrees beyond vertical on standard split‑folding seats. Movement is completely silent and free of vibration, preserving the refined ambience of your Land Rover or Jaguar.

Key Features of the Retrofit Kit

• Original equipment‑grade motors deliver whisper‑quiet, dependable operation for life.
• Plug‑and‑play wiring loom uses sealed, vehicle‑specific connectors that match your JLR model’s factory terminals without cutting or soldering.
• Dedicated control module integrates via CAN bus and enables switch inputs, memory sync (if applicable), and safety interlocks.
• Replacement switch panels for the rear doors or armrest provide a clean, factory‑look control point for each seat.
• Fully reversible – the retrofit does not alter the original seat structure and can be returned to stock at any time.
• Robust, corrosion‑resistant brackets and fasteners maintain seat integrity and crashworthiness.

Benefits You Will Enjoy Every Journey

• Ultimate rear‑seat comfort – passengers choose their ideal recline angle instantly.
• Reduced fatigue on long trips thanks to the ability to shift weight and change posture.
• Increased vehicle desirability – adding a luxury option boosts resale and trade‑in value.
• Genuine OEM integration – no aftermarket modules or messy wiring; the vehicle behaves exactly as if the option had been factory‑fitted.
• Simple installation – a certified JLR specialist can complete the retrofit in a morning.

The LR‑Retrofit Advantage

We engineer every kit to precisely match the original factory recline option. The motors carry the same part numbers as those used in production JLR vehicles; the switches feature the identical illumination, haptic feel, and logo etching. We pre‑prepare the wiring harness to the exact length and pin‑out of the vehicle you select, eliminating guesswork and ensuring a flawless fit within the seat frame and door cavity.
