I did research but info is scattered. I now know exactly what the four leads need in terms of gauge and function.... I registered for erwin to get the schematics of the back of the hvac unit for when I have some time. Where did you source the parts of I can ask. (mostly the plugs I would...

Howdy! I recently replaced my seats with A5 leather & heated seats. In all honesty I didn't even knew I was getting heated ones until I saw the plugs. I thought I was not gonna bother with them but with the winter coming and again some encouragement here I got tempted... I found the hvac unit...

I've done it a few times... Not sure I understand the question. You mean torque for the clamp? Never heard or seen that. You do need a torque wrench for the cv nut and the wishbone nuts and the settings depend on your setup. There are two cv nuts (hex or 12 point IIRC) bot requiring different...

Thanks for the extra encouragement! Does the Kufatec work connecting the A5 seats (green plug - pic attached) to the a3 HVAC unit?

Did you take any pics? I am pretty sure my rear speakers are shy so I'd have to take your route. All working good now?

Following all the tips and encouragement of the forum today I retrofitted the cruise control and upgraded to A5 leather seat that are a world apart in comfort without braking a single piece of plastic! Went for a spin, no light in the dash no errors all working! Yeepee The seats are heated...

The problem is that the lock/unlock operates all 4 doors at once and the bonnet also triggers the alarm but is sorted now

I am almost done! :) Done the passenger side. all good no lights on the dash all working. The airbag I re-soldered but for the other loom I replaced the whole cable up to where it is attached at the bottom of the seat where it is in fact the same exact connector. I trusted that if the use the...

I think I scored a set with heating which I am not sure I will bother with for now. With the black one you did the same? Splice and solder? (I think is the the ocuppanvy sensor and seat belt if I got that right) And did you had to cut that black pin?

Hi, I am hoping to retrofit the CC stalk and the front seats of an A5. Instructions call for unplugging the battery for 30 mins to avoid accidental deployment of the airbags. When I do the alarm goes off and I am working on the kurb and would like to disconnect the battery and leave the...

Thank you!!

Thanks! Did you had to solder them or re arrange some pins?

Where did you get the info to splice and connect the airbag plugs? I will be doing this soon.

Thanks! I don't feel alone then! Rolling down the window feels like an adventure too. Do the A5 seats bolt straight on? Any other VAG seats that end improving the 8p? Mine has no electronics... Presumably the airbag plugs and seatbelt sensors if that.
