It's odd, the wiring loom from Kufatec is actually labelled for 'Bora/ Golf' and makes no mention of the Octavia. The switch that I've got is the single unit with the roll switches for both driver and passenger in one. Demonufo, it's not out of the question, but I quite like the idea of everything fitting in the dash as it's supposed to. Is there anywhere I could mount Bora/Golf switches without cannibalising the dash?

Hi all, Long time viewer, first time poster. Just wanted to quickly say what a breath of fresh air it's been being part of this forum - such a knowledgeable and friendly bunch of people! This question relates to the heated seats in the Mk1 octavia - I've seen a few posts relating to others who have also been trying to retrofit heated Recaros into their VRS. Along with a few other members I've now found out first-hand that the wiring loom available on Kufatec definitely isn't the correct one! (it's actually for a Golf/ Bora which has the separate switches). I've been hunting around for ages now trying to find a wiring loom from either an Elegance or an L&K model that would fit the single control in the dash, but with no luck! Is there anyone out there that knows of, or would be able to create a custom wiring loom that would fit the single switch intended for the Mk1 Octy? Apparently the Golf/ Bora looms come with a relay attached which would need to be added to the Skoda loom for everything to work correctly? Thanks in advance!
