Just want to know if anyone has wired up some electric front seats into a Mk4 Gti -

Obviously there will be no looms in the car for it, so.......

Does it have to go through a relay/fuse?
Where do you take the electric supply from for the seats?
Do you have to put a new connector onto the wires or can they be hard wired in?
Also I presume that S3 seats will fit (I know the rears will) just unsure of the front subframes, I'm led to believe they are a straight swap?

Basically my mate has an S3 interior that he wants rid of, as the front seats are electric, I don't want to buy it if they are TOO hard to wire up, not bothered about the heating part of it.

Need to give him an answer asap before he sells it to someone else, so any help would be appreciated!!!!!

Thanks!, Rob

i did look into it a few weeks ago as im planning it myself, the rears fit marvelously, ive has my brothers in the back of mine for testers! and the fronts apparently are a straight swap too, i take it your talking a mk 1 s3? the electrics are supposedly fairly easy to do, i wouldnt know specifics mind, how much you paying?

He wants £200 for them to me, so too good to let go really,

Just the wiring side of it, pretty good with electrics, but would need to know the details of where to power them from and how to connect them as my 1 year old goes in the car a lot and I don't want anything to happen with her in it!

Easily, its not perfect but with some leather dye and a good days elbow grease while its out the car it won't look too shabby when it goes in.
