Seen and read loads about it now, but not one single finished result!

So I've seen the kufatec wiring loom to retrofit them so them are basically OEM but no finished results.

How hard is it going to be?

I've took the covers off my cloth elegance seats before but a little worried pulling apart SE leathers incase they sag or get damaged etc...

This is the wiring loom

So if I get elegance seats, that loom and the switches, all should be well?

2x purple plugs - attach to the heated seat switches.

2x green plugs - attach to the plugs under each heated seat.

1x 'Beleuchtung' - Translates to 'Lighting'. This connects to an illumination wire i.e. Grey/bluestripe wire. This will cause the heated seat swiches to light up.

1x 'Masse' - Translates to 'Ground'. This connects to an earthing point. There's a round end terminal on the loom for this wire.

1x Loose wire (about 6 inches) with fuse terminal connector. Connects to a permanent live source (Somewhere in relay board?) and the fuse terminal goes into Fuse 32 in the fuse box.

1x 'Dauerplus' - Translates to 'Continous positive'. This wire is part of the loom with heavier guage wire. It also has a fuse terminal connector, so it goes into fuse 32 as well.

1x 20amp fuse goes into Fuse 32.

1x 'Gelb' wire - Translates to 'Yellow'. I believe these go into the comfort control module (CCM) into XS2, into pin 3.

1x 'Violett' wire - Translates to 'Purple'. I believe these go into the comfort control module (CCM) into XS2, into pin 10.

Then needs activating with VCDS "+00032 = Heated Front Seats installed"

Hope the above helps, kinda few bits of my own and borrowed from others!

A lot of good information there Sam.

Hutchy - rather you than me taking apart the leathers [emoji33]

JRJG

Yeah, good information indeed!

Only worry is Sam saying they stay switched on but low? soon as I take the key out I would want them completely off!

I'm thinking.... I don't need to strip them down much, much unhook the back and slide the heating elements inside, not sure...

I have stripped Fabia seats down before which was easy enough... But never leathers.

If it turns out to be to much trouble I'll pay a professional to install them and refurbish all the leather properly at the same time.

That's the plan anyway :/

Yeah mine stay on low with key out. Im too lazy to sort it out! I connected it to the big red block behind the dashboard. I assume thats wrong but ive got that many wires behind dash for my LED's and my autolights its more hassle to get behind and fix it

I thought having heated seats on all the time would drain the battery, I take it you just turn the heat setting to zero before getting out.

Remembering to turn them to zero every time you get out is asking for a flat battery surely!?

JRJG

Yeah it does, what i mean is if i leave them turned on it stays on low. If i put the switch to 0 they do go off

Yup done it twice! But as i use my car once in a blue moon it doesnt bother me to fix it as its so infrequent that it actually happens.

Yeah, i sent you a PM a few days ago about them, let me know

So has anyone stripped down leathers before?

Having seen the wiring and switches is all fine to retro-fit I'm confident in all that side of things, my main worry now is fitting the heating elements into my SE leather seats.

Do I need any extra padding or somthing for the leather so it doesn't get damaged or are the heating elements and internals the same on the cloth seats and the leather seats?

I've asked one upholstery place and they said around £100 to put the heating elements in.

Also, Is this possible for every model Fabia vrs? 

Mines 2007, BLT facelift model so will the confort module have whats needed to wire in the heated seats?

Thanks.
