This might help you with the rear door card issue.

Also a Eddie-NL can sort you heated seats out if your willing to travel!

It is easy to retrofit them yourself, Kufatec make a loom though it still comes for LHD.

I did it on my old mk5, there are two looms depending on the age of the seats you buy.

Don't go to a company, use Eddie-NL for these things.

I heard they are good, but very, very expensive.

I'm sure there is a guide, but the rear benches need removed I recall, then it it just torx screws, which you will see

can any one tell me if I have to do anything to the seat belts when removing the rear doorcard or do they stay where they are?
