Buick Enclave Seat Swap

I'm looking to swap new seats into 1999 limited, and don't mind doing some fabrication to get non-OEM seats to fit.

I went through a pick-n-pull a few days ago to get some measurements from some other makes and models and found that 1st Gen Buick Enclave seats should be a pretty close match. The rails are about 17.5" wide vs our 18" and the height and width match within 1 inch.
There were a few there, and the seats were super comfortable. Think overly squashy leather armchair.

My biggest concern is that they are power and I know that GM uses their proprietary CAN BUS.

Does anyone know if Buick (or other GM) seats are fully controlled within the seats themselves or are the brains located elsewhere?
I know that BMW has the seat computer in the seats themselves, and that providing momentary power to them can at least allow you to adjust the seat. Are GMs similar, or is this not an endeavor worth pursuing?

What year was the buick? Were the seats heated?
