installing electic seats in non electric

I own a 2005 Texas Titan SE with no electric seats. I bought a complete set of leather seats with memory seats on both front seats. I have them in my truck but have not wired them up. The dealer said that each seat has its own computer and it would be to much work for them and they were not even sure they could do it. Does anyone know if it is possible and if so how to do it. I hate to loose the seats and have no way to return them.

The seats with a memory system do not just plug in and work. I had to pull all the computer system under the seat and trace all the wireing. But I did get them working.
One each motor only takes two wires and the side that has the three extra wires are the wires to the memory system. Also the wires comming out of the switch for the seat only has 9 wires and there are five motors so you have to share a ground or drop of one of the motors ( The back seat ) lift is the least used. If you share the ground you have to be some what tricky with the switch to get it to trade between the lifts.
Anyway it was a long project but it worked.
