So you just need to understand the wiring on the seats themselves and you should be able to sort it out.
Do you know what year / model car the seats came from?

how does the module work? I am looking at the pictures and can only see 1 location for a plug to go into? If the floor connects to that plug then how do the seat wiring connect to the module? if its a wiring loom, do you have the diagram for that wiring loom? If you can, I wouldnt mind the part numbers for a wiring loom and heated seat module so I can go ahead and buy it. As for the vxr seats, the year is 2007. Doesnt say much else other than that.
Thanks.

So I am lead to believe that what I need to sort the wiring out is:
1. Genuine heated seat wiring loom for the passenger and the driver side seats (1 genuine loom will do or 2 or do I need to buy the kufatec loom?)
2. Heated seat module for the passenger side
Right?

If your car already had factory fitted heated seats, the loom is already in place (car side), which is what gives you the 10 pin plug in the floor under each seat.
S you need the looms for the seats themselves and 1 heated seat control module which is fitted under the passenger seat.
These looms I don't think are available from kufatec. The kufatec loom is for the car side.

Im guessing the loom your talking about (under the seat) looks like this https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/bvcAAOSwaEhZFMH4/s-l1600.jpg ??
If I am right, the loom connects to all the components on the seat itself so the airbag, heated seat and seat belt sensor and then the same loom connects into the heated seat module as well as under the floor 10 pin plug and play? So when I buy the loom, I keep the connectors for the module and under the floor but then cut the rest off and wire them to the cars wires?
Also why only 1 module not 2? If the wiring loom will connect to the module on the passenger side... What will the plug connect into on the driver side if there is no module? Or does the driver side loom not have the connector for the module only the passenger does?
Nearly have the confidence to try this myself! :)
Thanks.
