How To: Mk5 Heated Seats Retrofit

<< < (6/28) > >>

Thanks for that, I was hoping you would see the post.

Kufatec told me it was the earlier one as the seats are 2006 and I was not convinced at all.

I just had a quick look at the plugs on the seats and looked at the 2007+ wiring diagram and as long as you remember that the passenger / drivers seat is the other way round as that diagram is for a left hand drive, the cabling for the harness seems to marry up with what is on the seats.

Thanks again.  :smiley:

If I had not of read your guide, I wouldn't have known anything about the cars having different amounts of seat controller modules.

I would then have ordered the incorrect harness.

No problem. Just allow yourself a good day to get it done. Its not difficult but cutting, soldering, running wires etc is something you don't want to rush and have to re do later. Lol
Its an awesome mod for this time of year :)

Yes, I can't wait.
I have already fitted all the door cards and installed the back seats.
I have a the seat heater switch already, it's just the harness to order now.

Obviously I haven't seen the harnesses but I'm guessing that you just have to lengthen the cable on the drivers plug so that it goes to the passenger side where the module is? Then the passenger plug would have extra length on but goes to underneath the drivers seat. So if I did not shorten that side it would not matter you just have to hide the cable in the car.
You could do all this work when the harness is out of the car before you start obviously.

JP:
Also by the way, on your guide you have put the link to the wiring diagrams but you have the 2006 wiring diagram showing twice.

Under the installing the loom section, its on the up to 2006 and also the 2007 onwards and also this is replicated on the PDF.

Worth updating.
