Title: Is it possible to retro-fit heated seats??
Post by: WhiteGTI on August 15, 2009, 08:52:02 am
As above??  :sad1: :confused:

I know that I can't buy it as a pre-set package from a dealer, but I'm just wondering if the parts can be bought, and if it can be installed into the stock seats easily?????

Yes, you need this - Clicky (http://www.kufatec.de/shop/product_info.php/info/p680_Seat-Heating---Harness---VW-Golf-5.html)
plus the elements to go into the seats.  :happy2:

Also how does it work with the switch? i.e. normally the switch is by the heater controls? Or does this kit have its own switch located elsewhere?

Will this just heat the seat base, or the backrest too?

I really want heated seats too, but I was under the impression you needed a seat ECU as well as a heated seats climatronic unit and the associated wires.  If all you need is this an a climatronic unit, I'm going to do it!  I had heated leathers in an old car and I really miss them.

Let me know how you get on too, please  :smiley:
