Heated Seats 5g

Post by EddieMunster » Sun May 03, 2020 7:44 pm

Hi

Does anyone know if I can convert non-heated to heated? Mine are heated, and a little worn, but I also have a set of mint non-heated, so I wondered what's involved in transferrring the pads from the heated to the non-heated. I've done it on my TT, bit of an arse, but doable.

Thanks

I don't see why not - its just 2 pads , i doubt they are sewn in , probably just some little staples or similar?

You could always get aftermarket ones an change plugs over if originals aren't worth bothering with

The original seats are in great condition, a bit of leather food and they'd be 9/10. The replacements are 10/10, but the pedant in me wants to convert those to heated as it's quite a rare option.

Can't see why not - the covers come off and it's all the same parts diagram/base/cover in the heated and non-heated ones.

You'll need to get the seat out of the car and strip the covers off. Haven't looked at the construction of a 5G seat, but on a 4g seat, the covers come apart/off with a combination of zips and metal rings (which you can bend open a bit to allow them to be 'unhooked' and then reverse to re-attach).

Yeah, hog rings.

I think it might be worth sacrificing one set to make a nice heated set; if the covers come off the current seats then I can put the covers from the perfect seats on in their place. I think that's the way forward..... :D
