Post by: negawsklov on 13 July 2011, 16:13

Will my 95 8v have everything built in to install a heated leather trim if its supplied with switches etc??

Yeah its pretty much plug and play once you've got the loom and switch.

No it aint a plug and play!
Now I didnt actually do it myself, I stood and watched and helped out by passing screwdrivers etc.
Front seats have to come out which if you are putting the leather ones in will be out anyway!
Then the centre console and a good part of the dash! Plus the fuse box.
Dash you need the clocks and HU out, the fuse box can be pulled right down.

Well yeah obviously things need to be pulled apart to get access but its nothing that can't be done with a few screwdrivers.

Cheers, sounds straight forward enough. So need loom, switches and fuse box or is it a case the loom plugs into my existing fuse box once I've made it accessible?

Yep, loom plugs straight into the existing fusebox, from memory the plugs on the end of the loom are colour coded so just plug into the corresponding colours on the fusebox. Just so happens im selling a loom and switch if your interested  :grin: :grin:

hahaha@ Ben

early cars is a little bit more involving due to plugs in a different place etc (like mine)

took me around half hour to sort
