Within the year, I am likely to be replacing the driver seat in a 2016.5 Mazda CX-5 GT. Strongly considering the Recaro Ergomed ES.

Would get trimmed in similar black perforated leather like the factory seats. Would of course need to enable all the features on the seat, cope with the airbag/sensor question. And the bracket would need to ensure perfect, centered alignment with the steering wheel, of course. (Need this firm, full-length leg support.)

Anyone done this sort of thing on the CX-5, with one of the fully-electric adjustable Recaros? Any caveats, limitations, suggestions?

Recarro has a name well known in the industry but IMHO that has not held their old customer service for decades. Having used them in several vehicles I long learn that Corbeau has high quality seat with superb customer service that better suits not only the pocket book but the quality.
My very well known MINI Cooper S I use Corbeau.

Old injuries demand a seat I use frequently have a good range of adjustability. Which pretty much relegates me to electric, multi-way adjustable types. Even if a given non-adjustable seat has the perfect initial position (angle, etc), in 10mins it won't and will need an adjustment to compensate for old muscle damage I have in the legs. I'm certainly open to something other than Recaro, depending.

As for brackets, neither Recaro nor Corbeau have published that they have brackets for the CX-5. Doesn't surprise me.
