How To: Mk5 Heated Seats Retrofit
AlexAlmostDSG:
Hello everyone
Reviving this old thread, for the sake of knowledge :)
Hope the OP and everyone else is okay with that.
Ok, so i have a GOLF MK5 - BY 2007 November and i'd like to upgrade to seated heats. Besides the wiring loom from Kufatec - do i also need the wires in the attached photo labeled as "driver seat wireharness and passenger seat wireharness " or are these already on my car?
I'd like to know - to avoid buying unneccsary stuff, of course.
Many thanks and regards

Hi. Those wiring harnesses should already be on your car.
Under you seat you should have a large black connector for heated seats, a small black connector for seat occupancy and a yellow connector for airbag.
See the pictures in the guide which should make it more clear.
Once you have your kufatec loom, you will connect it to the large connector on your seat.
Hope this helps.
Thanks
Jason

Hi, more questions!
I have a 2008 GT TDI that I'm fitting 2004 GTI leather seats. I have the earlier Kufatek loom. I've read your guide literally over and over again to try and get it straight in my head. The parts that confuse me are fitting the wires to the heater control panel, CECM & fuse panel.
The Kufatek instructions are basic at best, so your guide is like the bible to me!
I have the basic heater control panel, how would I be able to know what plug to insert the wires to on the back?
In a comment about the CECM, you mention what pins to use but the image is blank?
Cheers, Bob

If you have the basic heater panel, known as climatic, so look out for that on the wiring diagrams.
For CECM, in my guide, the wiring diagrams refer to connectors by a letter and number. This is the connector (letter) and pin (number).
If you look on the CECM itself, each connector is colour coded and labeled with a letter. Each connector has the pins numbered.
If this doesn't help, I'll give more details later when I can check properly.

Hi sorry to bring this thread up again, I have been "ghosting" on this forum for some quite time. But I've finally had the courage to register lol.
I have been very curious of the heated seats retrofit project, I've fitted in some heated leather seats which were made in 2006, also purchased the correct heater control with heated seats function. However I'm just confused with the wiring.
I briefly understand where the wires need to be routed but I don't get the big black connector hanging fromunder my seats atm. I'm assuming they're the wiring for the heated elements right? And more importantly where do they connect to as there are no ports available under the plastic tray?
P.S a very well written guide I appreciate the effort made behind it, can't wait to get on with it myself!
