Memory seats retrofit

Featured Replies

Hi all, new user here but browsed many threads from google etc. I have an unusual problem but hoping some knowledgable people on here can help

 

I am attempting to retrofit Superb 3T memory seats into my Audi TT MK2 (PQ platform still), as this was not an option. I'm a bit of a serial retrofitter so bear with me :D

 

The eventual plan will be to swap the motors over into my non-memory seats but for now I have just wired the whole seat up alongside the car, with power and convenience CANbus. I cleared all faults across the car, added the new module 36 to the gateway, everything seems fine. The seat moves in all directions, and the existing memory positions work

 

My problem - I cannot set new positions. I presses Set for a few seconds expecting the "bong" (does this come from the instrument cluster - it sounds like the low fuel noise?) but it never happened. I also pressed Set shortly followed by a number and held both for a few seconds and nothing

 

I've seen threads about moving the seat back then forwards etc. I didn't do that as such but there is no basic setting fault code and I did test all motors

 

Anything sound wrong here?

 

Something else I'd like to find out more is whether this is related to the BCM at all. My TT has a very similar one but different part numbers of course. Is there anything in there to code/adaptation for the memory? As it might not be documented on the TT in VCDS but could still be possible. Screenshots of each byte would be ideal 🤞

 

Final thought is the door modules. I do have +256 enabled on my passenger door with working reverse kerb view. I don't have this on the drivers side. However the mirror memory isn't a big deal for me now, but wondering if something there is essential?

 

Thanks in advance

Maybe that was an unusual request but I have a request that hopefully anyone with memory seats can help with?

 

In VCDS measuring blocks there is one called "Memory Function". What does yours say? Mine says "Inactive" which I assume is my issue, but want to check first

 

Thanks

Just out of interest,  did the skoda seats just bolt in? Im actually wanting to put Audi seats in my Superb!

Hi, I am actually not planning on fitting the whole seat but I can take measurements of the rails if that helps?

 

I'm keeping my TT seat due to it being mounted much lower due to the low roofline etc, and it also folds to allow access to the rear. Finally I want to keep the original appearance 

 

I have since found that the Superb electronics do work, but I don't get the beeps, which I think come from the instrument cluster? I can live with that. I'm in the process of swapping all the motors over, only got lumbar to go now

That's pretty cool, and makes perfect sense, it's good to see there are other people out there using common sense to upgrade their car using bits from the VAG parts bin. Would be interested in hearing how you got on.

It is tricky for me to measure the Skoda one as it is out the car and the position on the runners blocks a bolt hole but I make the mounting holes approx 36cm apart lengthwise and 48cm apart in width. Will let you know one I have measures the TT one. The inner runner (centre console side) has locating prongs too

 

I've done all sorts to mine, I'm a bit obsessed. Weirdly of the PQ35/45 platform, the Skodas have some of the highest specs including memory seats which Audis didn't have and in VW s were uncommon and hence sparse secondhand

Yes, I've found that, it's near impossible to find Audi seats that are fully electric and heated, even the memory ones usually have a manual adjuster for moving back and forwards. The Porsche Cayenne seats apparently drop straight in and actually were made in the same ivory leather, but unless they're from the GTS model they're pretty much identical anyway and impossible to source. I'm guessing the motors and plugs would still have to switched to trick the car into thinking nothing had changed, it's a much bigger job than I thought. 😯😂😂
