Seat heating part numbers

[collard]

Afternoon. Enjoying my Enyaq but I did make a mistake in not specifying heated seats so I'm going to retro fit them. 

 

I've found the cabling from Kufatech 

Seat Heating Harness for Seat, Skoda MQB2020, MEB

Cable set seat heating - heating mats for MQB

I have a source for the OEM heating Mats (Skodaparts.com) but they can't tell which variant of the seat heater I need for the seats. 

seat:

a/ 5LA963555E
b/ 5LA963555D

 

backrest:

a/ 5LA963557E

b/ 5LA963557F
 

Can anyone shed any light on differences between the two sets of part numbers there?

 

Cheers,

It seems unusual that the modification code letters on the part numbers were for leather or non leather seat coverings. Usually these letters just indicate consecutive updates/improvements to the individual part. It obviously worked anyway so well done. I don’t think I’d be so brave tackling into the leather upholstery on a brand new car. Great result. What sort of time and funds to get it done ?

Ah good knowledge. I just copied the part numbers from another car with the same interior, Fitted fine. 
 

I think the whole thing cost about £400 which is similar to the option cost but i didn’t realise I hadn’t optioned heated seats until too late in the ordering process to add them so this was my best option. Probably 4hrs per seat and another 4 hours for the wiring as I had a bit of problem solving to do to locate and access the AC Control module. Usually someone on YouTube has trod the path before you, but not so on this project. 
 

I understand your point of view but the car is just a tool to me; it’s there to be used, it’ll have 100k on it by the time I part with it and quite enjoyed the challenge. There’s also the fact that seat heating uses less power than space heating so there’s actually a range advantage to be had too. (Probably…….)

Thats the same as the Land Rover I had - I changed the seat pad and also heater element on it after 180k or so as the squab had gone a bit soft and they are different part numbers for leather and cloth. Maybe they run at a different temperature?

Would they just be right hand and left hand, depending on the drive side of the car?
