Hi,

Can anyone give advice on swapping a standard half leather VRS non-heated seat interior for a full leather VRS interior with heated seats? 
Im wondering whether the seats will plug into the existing wiring loom, and only the switches on the dash will need changing?

Also, can anyone direct me to a link for workshop manual so I can understand how it comes out/goes in, please. Thanks. 

The wiring is not there already nor is any of the coding or controls, often the BCM if not a high line will need replacing too.

Basically nothing is there for them sadly.

 

If you wanted to fit them youd first have to add the wiring loom, find the correct heater controls and confirm the BCM is correct

Not quite the same but this gives the overall concept

Thanks! This is pretty much exactly same as what I’d like to do! I’ll give it a go!

Thanks for reply. I’ve seen the thread about buying the wiring separately, but how will I know of my BCM is correct, or what coding it would require. I have a 2015 petrol VRS saloon. It already has half leather, I’m just upgrading to leather.

There are 3 versions of the BCM (low, mid and high) which can be identified by the part number.

 

You'll need a diagnostic tool (e.g. VCDS or OBD11) to change the coding to add the heated seats and that can identify which BCM version you have.
