Do you have or plan to have leisure battery? As this might help with plan how to connect it other wise you either need to connect to main fuse box. Someone here might help more as mine got fuse under box as was ex rec van

I have a leisure battery under the drivers seat, if that helps
My connection blocks don’t map with what was shared earlier - but I’m going to make an educated guess and assume the thickest two wires coming from the drivers seat are expected to be 12v+ and ground ?
Try to see if there its fuse box next to battery
Nope, the only fuse box I have is on the lower dash, to the left under the gear stick ..
Hi all,
With the weekend in mind, for me to get basic operation (forward backwards up down), is all that’s required from me is to just connect a 12v & GND feed to each of the motors underneath ? And for those to go the opposite way, I would reverse that 12v feed ?

Hi yes that what I plan to do you can buy buttons which operate that way if you scroll few pages it’s on/off/on button where it change porality.
If you want just to move them to install then yes you can just swap +and - as dc motor will go other way etc.
I’m surprised yours don’t work as most ppl just connect from main plug, don’t forget to put fuse as well just in case.

Thanks @Snakelimit,
While I’ve got the seats I’m still in the learning and planning phase, taking the seats out led to me taking the cab floor up, to then buying sound deadening material but then seeing chunks of rust on the bare floor - the latter two of which are my weekend jobs sorted before I can get to the fun part of the seats
Have you tested yours with just a direct 12v - if so is the speed of movement an issue - does voltage need to be adjusted in any way for speed ?

I’ve read different opinions on this, most seem to suggest if you leave them alone they will be fine, and then other have mentioned VW Audi Airbag Lockout Adapters
I assume that’s these …
Is anyone using these (or considering it) ?

Hi @Snakelimit - have you completed your install?
Did you get it all working ?
Both of my sests seem to have the memory control unit (4M6959760E), so nothing seems to be able to work / be powered simply from the two main cables coming out of the red plug..

I got mine working just using the 2 power wires hooked up to a lighter socket for now, allowed me to move them into place and adjust the back rests. the front controls dont seem to work and I have no idea what the 2 toggle button on the upper headrest does, cant even seem to find out what that is online.
I still dint get around to do them someone mentioned before about that memory and need to connect as well but not sure, been sick all last week and got a lot to do, will try sorting out soon.
@Snakelimit - Hope you feel better soon
@T6Norfolk - What control unit do you have for your seats, is it 4M6959760E too?
As I need the seats to be ready tomorrow, I couldn’t wait to sort the controller unit out and have stripped out all the cables, thankfully it seems straight forward as all the motors (and there looks to be 5 !) have the thickest cables and are closely paired/colour wise, so I can relatively easily isolated and control each motor.

I will have to get under my seats and take a look for u

Hi just wondering if you managed to get all the functionality on your seats?I have the same in my 6.1 but struggling to find information on the lumber wiring
Mine are from a 2 door RS5 with the movement button on the headrest too

After a bit of research it looks like they will not function without the link to the Audi control system, but at least I have the movement and heating sorted 
Hi @Superchargedgti what did you do exactly to get the movement and especially the heating working ..
