Heated Seats - Retrofit *Part No required please*
« on: 27 February 2011, 23:59 »
One of the things my GTD doesn't have is the heated seats -It's an option I would have liked but it was not to be!

Now, I've read that 'all' Golf GTI/GTD seats have the heater elements in them as standard but obviously don't have the controls in the climate unit.

A bit of detective work tonight shows a wire going into the seats that I believe is for the heater elements :) so....

Can anybody tell me how I can check if the wiring is present to the rear of the climate unit and would just need to be connected to a climate unit with the seat heater buttons and presumably coded in VCDS?

No. Definitely not!

There are two sets of wires under my seats. One is for the seatbelt tensioner and the other is for the heater.   

Have a look under yours (easier to check by looking from the rear footwell) and report back .....

You must be desperate or cold? lol

The GTDs only have heated seats if you have the luxury pack.

Defo no heating elements in the GTD seats I fitted some to my mk5 and the only wiring is for seat occupancy and the airbag.
