Heated seats installed, how to guide...

[Bram]

I also have no free Main power clip on the bottom of the fuse box to connect the big red power cable.

Can I just take any of the other big red power cables and split it up? Or is there one red cable I should not take out or split in 2?

Bram, the wiring loom i got had both heated seats and elecy seat looms, the + power for both were joined together and used only the one connector on the fuse box.

If you look in the pic on post 5, there is two large red wires at the bottom joined together under a white rubber cap, thats where the elecy seat looms where joined in.

This looks like a very useful install guide. I'm hoping it's going to be pretty similar to do a heated seat install on the S6. Anyone on here done one?

cheers,
Tom

Havent done one but should be very similar, the rear seats are also heated on the S4/S6's with the two controls at the end of the center console.

I'm converting some urS4 seats to fit in my coupe at the moment, and installing the heated elements - same process as above except the backrest is easier as you can detach the foam from the fabric.

I'll do some more pics if it'll help?

Can anyone tell me what the red connector in the pic is for?

[mcandmar]

I cant but when i got my loom it also had the electrically operated seating loom joined onto it, had to separate the two. Could it be that?

[Error404]

yeah think thats part of the leccy seats loom

Sorry I'll explain, what I meant is where does it go as it's not actually needed for the seats to operate and it's position in the loom means it's meant to connect under the dash?

[Error404]

AFAIK its for the ecu for seat memory? IIRC the loom just has a 30amp feed, earth and fuse to connect under the dash.. could be wrong though, never seen one in the flesh.

lol I have one in hand, the ecu for seat memory is actually located under the seat and there are a lot of extra wires to power it under the seat for it with the the other seat outputs

Newsh loom came from the US like mine so maybe it's a yank thing?

[Error404]

extra power to move the seat under the extra heavy loads maybe?

Hope my loom has one of these then....

Had a quick look in the Bentley, there is a four pin connector behind the dash for the power seats/seat belt warning.

Can only see pin 1 and 2

1 - BK/BL 15a fuse S12
2 - BR/Y to seat belt warning

Can you list the wire colours on the connector to confirm?
