Ive seen a full set of black leather Elegance seats for sale, the comfy black leather option but the seats are "powered" (fore/aft/up/down) whereas my Superbs half leather seats are manual

 

 

do i need a degree in computing from NASA to swap the seats over or do they just need a 12v feed?...

 

 

 

Probably worth checking the wiring diagrams: https://erwin.skoda-auto.cz/erwin/showHome.do

 

Given they have per key positions and appear in VCDS, they'll need at least power/ground and CAN.

or............could i DE-power the seats and use the front seat rears+squabs?

 

the airbag seats would be the issue then

 

 

For the seats to be adjusted/operated, you need 12Volt (2 wires, + and ground). The seats can now be adjusted with the switches on the seat.

 

For the memory function to work, you will need to connect the seat with the memory option to the Canbus. Don't know if it's sufficient to connect the 2 canbus wires, of if you need to change or add other modules to the car. Will need coding though.

 

*thinks*................ what about seat airbags (if ive got them in my Mk2 pre-FL....ive not looked)

 

 

cheers

In my case (I changed both front seats to full electric+heating), the seats were both from a Superb MK2 Pre FL and both had airbags. The airbag connector was the same, so it was plug and play for the airbag part.

 

I would recommend to disconnect the battery (and wait a few minutes) before working on anything with an airbag.

Thank you!

 

I was thinking of replacing my regular seats with electric seats but unfortunately I found no extra connectors for the electric supply.

if the memory isnt required then a simple fused 12v feed should suffice, assuming the switches cater for polarity reversal for fore/aft  and up/down adjustments?

 

 

id like to get a scrap seat to test this
