How To: Mk5 Heated Seats Retrofit

<< < (11/28) > >>

Greigzy:
The black plastic connector has to go into plastic tray.

You need to order the loom from Kufatec, to go from the connector in the plastic tray, to the fuse box and the back of the heater control panel.

You buy the looms as per the year of the seats and whether it has electric bolsters or not.

Hope this helps

Another good guide  :happy2:

Well, gave this a go today, followed this guide...

I've come unstuck with the kufatec loom... All the wires are grey! 

Need some help..

So got the two earth wires.. The circular spades..
Then there is two wires into one.. I reckon this is the wire that goes to the cecm position C1

Now it gets a bit tricky... There's a group of three wires, which I think goes to the climate control, on is coded Bl/Rt, so black red, the other is Bl/ge, blue/yellow(?) and it the same thickness as the blue/red, so I think these are the left and right switch wires? The third is slightly thicker, but not colour markings.

Then there 4 thick wires all marked KL-30 (I think?) so perhaps some of these go to the fuse panel?

Then there are two more wires together, not colour marked,
And finally one more wire, not colour marked, but it's longer, so perhaps long enough to get to the climate panel..

Why kufatec can't mark up the loom is beyond me!!!  This would be a simple install for a guy with basic electrical skills, but has left me with putting the loom in place but not plugging it in...  Took more about an hour to get the car apart and 20 mins to put it back together, but about 2 hours of head scratching trying to figure out what wire goes where!!!

Any help would be great!!!

The wire that has 2 going into it isn't for cecm.

As far as i remember on the 2007+ loom it's:

2 for ground
3 for the heater panel
2 for fuse box (1 ignition 1 live) there's an additional wire to fuse box if your seat has lumbar support)
1 for cecm


When i fitted a up to 2006 loom there was an additional wire to the above and i couldn't figure out where it goes. Wiring it to an ignition cleared the fault code but the seats still didn't heat up.
