Heated seats

<< < (6/6)

mortygttdi:
the only guys that are getting it working are the scirocco boys, but they are changing the instrument cluster to the new white display so its obviously some thing to do with that??

Glad you got it sorted mate its fiddley but worth it, do you get any faults on the instrument with vcds?

Ah ok, im getting a better picture of how it's done now, im half guessing at what the loom looks like, as the pic on kufatec aint great!

Did you need to buy any plastic adaptors or anything to plug the seat connectors into?

So is it basically this on the loom.

One connector = goes to passenger side seat other end of it, 1 pin plugs into climatronic unit
One connector = goes to drive side seat other end of it, 1 pin plugs into climatronic unit
One connector = earth, goes to earthing point near bonnet release catch under fusebox

Is that all the wires?

apollo13:
No sean thats not all of them!

Youve got one that goes to the cecm under the steering column and two or three that go to the fuse box.

Once you get the loom itll become clear mate.

@morty ah i see it i think the new white display clusters have a few more features?? no faults on the cluster at all.
my cluster was originally a petrol cluster but the guy re wrote it with diesel info so the rev counter works just as it should! revs through the full range.

 He also changed the leds to white which looks good but i might change the needle leds from red to blue when i get a spare chance.

Ignition plus - Fuse box Ignition feed
Double crimp - Control unit central electric Connector C – PIN 1 This is the main control board under the dash fuse box
Wire with 2 looms - Climate control unit – 20-pole Connector This is behind the climatic control panel under the headunit
Driver site - PIN 10 Same as abov
Passenger site - PIN 11 Same as above
Single loom - Climate control unit – 20-pole Connector – Pin 12 Same as above
Opposite to ignition plus, Fuse box SC7 Wire goes to the Fuse box socket 7
Ring terminal - Ground A-Column, driver site Bottom of A pillar ground position
After installation you need to code the control unit for central electric (address 09) to heated seats. Code Cent Elec for heated seats

Sounds easy but prob take an hour or so.

Hi guys, I shall be attempting this tommorow evening, in the dark nonetheless! (Ok with a lamp!) And hopefully I won't have to bother Lee too much on the phone!
Steady plus and ignition plus in the fusebox, which fuses are these?
And Obviously I will put 2 new fuses where the heated seat fuses would be on factory pre-installed seats in the fusebox?

Thats about it I think for now... Although im sure on my loom the parts that clip into the climatronic panel, the climatronic panel pin 10 & 11 are like 'Minus sign' shapes, whereas the pin to plug in, are square shaped...

Shaun the best thing for you to do is take the old seats out, run the loom under the seats and up the side cill trim to where the bonnet release is, put your new seats and plug the airbags in.

At least then you can use the car and wont have any airbag faults. Then when you have more time connect the loom up. All will become clear once you start doing it mate.
