Hey guys,

Just after some help regarding swapping out the cloth seats in my 2012 mk6 GTI. I've purchased leather front and rear seats, door trims, arm rest lid and got a question regarding the functionality of the leather seats.

As yous probably already know the leather seats have a heating function in them while the cloth seats don't, id like to have this work while keeping it looking as factory as possible. I have bought the climate control panel with heated seat controls to go along with the swap and i am curious if I will need a wiring harness of some sorts also for the heated seats, airbags and automatic lumbar support to work without any issues or error codes popping up. Or will it be all plug and play.

Cheers 🍻

Ben
