    Power to my seats???

    Got my hand on a set of RS2 front seats for my S2 Avant.These seats are electrical and I wonder where I can steal power to them.
    Can I use the cigarette "thing" (ahh good english)?

    You'd be better trying to source the loom, then you can just plug and play IIRC

      I wouldn't use the cigarette lighter as the circuit is not rated for the hefty seat motors. Factory fit they are connected directly to the battery via thermal fuses. This way they work all the time instead f needing the ignition on.

      If I ever get round to hacking my RS4 seats up so they fit I will be taking a feed straight from the battery to them.

            Found the seats on ebay for a month ago,got pretty expensive though but I really,really wan`t seats like this soo 750 euro included shipping from Germany to Norway was the final price.
            The seats was in great shape just some minor marks in the leather.
            Got them from www.turbocreator.de.

            But what a difference the RS2 seats are compared to the originale S2 seats,unbeliveable .
