Yeah I’m getting really confused at it. As one why my seats only have the element wires and no black blue just a small plug with the wires from the elements on.

Is there any definitive how-to for wiring up just heated seats? I have a set of manual heated seats to fit to a Project Drive car, so don't have any car-side looms or switches (and I don't need any electric seat adjustment facilities). The manual seats each have a small black plug from both the seat base and seat back to power the heating elements within - there's no large black plug (as on the elec adjust seats). I've acquired the dash switches and plenty of loom cable - so anyone know the simplest way of getting the heated seats hooked up? Cheers, Karl (elec novice!). |

I have the entire inside of the car sitting in the shed at the moment, so before I start putting everything back in, I've decided to give Rick-Sta's excellent How-To () a go.
I have a set of electric, heated, memory leather seats from a 1999 car (with yellow relays on the underside) that I'd like to fit to my Project Drive-afflicted 2003 car. Is there any reason why these wouldn't work in a more recent and relatively low spec (Club SE) car? I have a standard IPK (no digital display), so do the "pings" from the memory function just operate via the "lights on" sounders that are fitted to all cars? Or any other reason specifically that they wouldn't operate as per OEM? I will try to hook up the pin 6 wire (red and white with yellow speckles) to a K-Bus cable behind the stereo head unit - and will take power from the fuse box in accordance with this How-To etc. Edit: If for any reason they won't work, I'll just revert to my original intention of fitting the manual adjust leathers (as had been fitted before). Cheers, Karl. |

The seat ecu will communicate with the car once the red/white/yellow wire is connected, it will also ping when it reaches it set points.
You will need a T4 session to alter the ZCS coding in order to enable the memory to work from your key though.

Thanks for that, Andy. If it's only the key functionality that won't work, that would be acceptable Unfortunately, I don't know of anyone in these parts with a T4 (or the knowledge to operate one) . Although, Ards Rover isn't all that far away.. Will have to give this retrofit a go soon - think I have most of the steps fairly straight in my head now Cheers, Karl.

Thanks Roy - good to hear that it all worked out ok for you. Having read various threads, I believe there are differences between early and later seats (no relays on later seats?), so I've no idea how the differences affect installation steps etc., although this How-To is fairly clear. If it all ends in disaster, I can always revert to manual adjust seats and hope that the heating sections of the install work. Will report back once I have success and/or failure Cheers, Karl. |

As far as I know as long as you have everything wired up correctly and most importantly the k-bus wire (red/white with yellow stripes) wired to the k-bus circuit then the memory seat function with the key should work (if you have a mki without the remote boot release the mkii's have) once you have the option enabled on a t4. Toaf can do this as well if you have it.

Thanks Chris But, luckily, one of the sets of seats I've got actually has some car-side loom and plugs attached (see pics).. Cheers, Karl. |
