Default Are seats from 2002 2.7 A6 interchangeable with 1999 2.8 A6?

My 1999 A6 quattro has just passed 265,000 miles and is running well (22.7mpg) for a car its age. That being said, I’ve got some tears in the original front & rear seats. I’ve been using seat covers to hide this problem for some time now. Also, I need to replace the rearview mirror & driver’s side B-pillar.

I’ve located a 2002 A6 parts car. My 1999 A6 has the standard 2.8l V-6. The 2002 parts car has the 2.7l turbo motor.

My question is are the front & rear seats interchangeable? I don’t think the B-pillars are the same. Neither is the rear view mirror (both have different attachments, although I might devise a way to use both).

Does anyone know if the seats from a 2002 A6 2.7 will fit in a 1999 A6 2.8? I know Audi changed the electrical connectors for some of the model years. I just don’t know which ones.

I have been using a driver seat from a 2001 A6 in a 2000 A6 with no major problems. I know that this does not answer your question, but it *should* work...

My main concern is Audi has changed the attachments for the power seats from a round to a square connector.
