Are the seat electrical connectors the same on 06 and 08 cars

[CAPTAIN BRITAIN]

I’ve got an 06 gti and I need to fit front drivers seat that is from an 08 gti.
Are the air bag and heated seat connectors the same size?

[Sebas_theFish]

Probably not. There was a change from the earlier cars.

Yes I found different connectors between my '06 car and some '07 seats I bought.

[CAPTAIN BRITAIN]

How did you get around the problem?

[Octoparrot]

I created an adapter by going to the scrappers and getting the opposite connector to go to the seat connector and the opposite connector that goes to the car and joining the wires.

[CAPTAIN BRITAIN]

I see, could I also snip the connector off the old seat and solder it to the new seat?

[Octoparrot]

Yes that would work as well, I didn't as I don't like cutting wiring if I can help it. Also I was reselling my old seats so I didn't want to hack the wires up.

Don't solder airbag wiring, use the pink bullet heat shrink connectors. Soldering can put excess resistance into the airbag circuit.

I searched for the pink connectors but I’m seeing just red ones for sale, Same thing?

[GVK]

Yeah same thing
