Title: Bucket seats into gti mk5?
Post by: hussnainh8 on January 23, 2019, 05:27:04 am

Hello

Quick question.. So I have retro fitted some Corsa VXR recaro full leather bucket seats on the front of my edition 30. Was a bit of a pain and a tight fit but with some custom made brackets, they fit fine now. However, my old edition 30 seats where heated and so are these recaro seats however how do I go about wiring these to the car? The car itself has modules and dash controls already in place for heat however I just need to wire the recaro seat if its possible.

Any guidance on where to start first?

Thank you.

Thanks.

Assuming they're actually compatible, you'll need a wiring diagram for each I guess.

what do you mean by actually compatible? I was thinking to get the wiring diagram for each and then wire the recaro bucket seats exactly the same way as the standard edition 30 seats where wired?

Thanks.

I would but im trying to find the wiring diagrams for the car and the bucket seats. Or do I just connect wires to each other and wait for an explosion 😂 Positive to negative and negative to positive 😂
