Upgraded to Audi TT leather heated seats. Nice easy fit. Just need to get them wired up. Is it Stan the man and Tommyzoom who do the looms, and would I need to change the heater as I don’t have heated sea settings on mine.

Yes they are the loom gods mate. Haha.
You will need new heater controls based on the spec and year of your van. There are a few different types. There is also a couple of good threads on here too.

Yes I bought it to replace my Bluetooth to get audio turns out at the time they only did mono audio so was a waist of money

These are the chaps who can help you out mate.
I’m not 100% which heater controls you’ll need mate. My van is a face lift 2014 model with basic controls and no A/C so we’re abit awkward to find.
I’m sure they can advise you better.

Switched to some of these as mine had got water into them. The GIF doesn’t do them justice.

Wired in the puddle lights today. Thanks to Tommyzoom for the loom. Followed the guide in the how to section and really happy with the results.
