Heated seats

[SeanyK]

2007 Seats... Dilemma, which adaptor lol!

[apollo13]

Sean,

'adjustment' is for electric adjustment of the seat in the forward and backward motion and rake of the backrest

'lordose' is the electric lumbar support

'memory' is obviously for the memory seat function

You, like me probably just have heating + electric lumbar (lordose)

I was told you need the loom that matches the age of your seats not the car, worked for me so up to you what you do there mate.

Call me if you need to know anything else.

Thanks mate, all ordered!

I will probably fit the seats first, and leave the wires dangling as I am clueless if it involves soldering or adding ring connectors etc on wires, if only they just plugged in to the rear of the climatronic unit, i'd be a happy man!

But the fusebox area wiring is where I will fail I think!

[apollo13]

Its all plug and play mate! The only cock up i made was wiring the switches around the wrong way, ie drivers side turns on passenger side seat    Its becsuse the guides i had were from europe and obviously for a left hooker!  No bother to switch around though, theyve been getting a bit of use the last couple of days too!! Not that its my behind being kept warm, im stuck in the van!!

[SeanyK]

Ohhh I see, so the plug meant for the passenger seat, I will put in the drivers seat?

Did you feed the wires through the center (under armrest area?)

Plug & Play sounds good to me I will give you a call when im setting up too mate,

Many thanks,

Sean

No!!!!!!!!

Not the plugs for the seats! There the right length to go to each seat, just swap them around at the climate control panel. Im only speaking from the diagram i used, yours may be different so youll need to check! 

Im sure you can run it up the centre console but i ran mine up the drivers side sill (sp) trim fed the loom under the carpet to each seat. Then connected the earth to the point by the bonnet release and up pass the fuse box and cecm under the steering column and on to the climate panel. 

Its easy just take your time.

Just a quick tip, put the wiring in before you put the seats back into the car when you change them over, that way you have access to the whole of the carpet area. If you put the seats in you will be trying to work around them?

Hi Darren,

Good tip, thats how i did mine but still a bit akward getting the loom under the carpet!

I found the loom was a little short when connecting up at the fuse box. Dont know if there all like that or just mine??
Iv heard some of the other kufatec looms are a little short.

[mortygttdi]

yeh the auto leveling is a joke, the wiring for the control module only reaches to the middle of the dash once connected to the fuse box and can bus, but the xenon control module should sit at the side of the glove box under the access panel.

I've had to extend a few now due to this, but I think kufatec actually do a service where you can specify what you need and how long with what connectors,

Darren

[apollo13]

Surely if they are supplying looms they should be the right length 

I had to unwrap some of it to get it to fit but even then it was tight!

Hey Darren do you know anyone thats got the spare buttons going on the mk6 wheel yet??

Lee.

by the way i repaired that highline   

[mortygttdi]

the only guys that are getting it working are the scirocco boys, but they are changing the instrument cluster to the new white display so its obviously some thing to do with that??

Glad you got it sorted mate its fiddley but worth it, do you get any faults on the instrument with vcds?

Darren

[SeanyK]

Ah ok, im getting a better picture of how it's done now, im half guessing at what the loom looks like, as the pic on kufatec aint great!

Did you need to buy any plastic adaptors or anything to plug the seat connectors into?

So is it basically this on the loom.

One connector = goes to passenger side seat other end of it, 1 pin plugs into climatronic unit
One connector = goes to drive side seat other end of it, 1 pin plugs into climatronic unit
One connector = earth, goes to earthing point near bonnet release catch under fusebox

Is that all the wires?

[apollo13]

No sean thats not all of them!

Youve got one that goes to the cecm under the steering column and two or three that go to the fuse box.

Once you get the loom itll become clear mate.

@morty ah i see it i think the new white display clusters have a few more features?? no faults on the cluster at all.
my cluster was originally a petrol cluster but the guy re wrote it with diesel info so the rev counter works just as it should! revs through the full range.

 He also changed the leds to white which looks good but i might change the needle leds from red to blue when i get a spare chance.

Steady plus - Fuse box Constant feed
Ignition plus - Fuse box Ignition feed
Double crimp - Control unit central electric Connector C – PIN 1 This is the main control board under the dash fuse box
Wire with 2 looms - Climate control unit – 20-pole Connector This is behind the climatic control panel under the headunit
Driver site - PIN 10 Same as abov
Passenger site - PIN 11 Same as above
Single loom - Climate control unit – 20-pole Connector – Pin 12 Same as above
Opposite to ignition plus, Fuse box SC7 Wire goes to the Fuse box socket 7
Ring terminal - Ground A-Column, driver site Bottom of A pillar ground position
After installation you need to code the control unit for central electric (address 09) to heated seats. Code Cent Elec for heated seats

Sounds easy but prob take an hour or so.

Darren

Hi guys, I shall be attempting this tommorow evening, in the dark nonetheless! (Ok with a lamp!) And hopefully I won't have to bother Lee too much on the phone!
Steady plus and ignition plus in the fusebox, which fuses are these?
And Obviously I will put 2 new fuses where the heated seat fuses would be on factory pre-installed seats in the fusebox?

Thats about it I think for now... Although im sure on my loom the parts that clip into the climatronic panel, the climatronic panel pin 10 & 11 are like 'Minus sign' shapes, whereas the pin to plug in, are square shaped...

Shaun the best thing for you to do is take the old seats out, run the loom under the seats and up the side cill trim to where the bonnet release is, put your new seats and plug the airbags in.

At least then you can use the car and wont have any airbag faults. Then when you have more time connect the loom up. All will become clear once you start doing it mate.
