Retrofitting Electric seats

Novice question, I think I know the answer, but .......
Is it possible to fit heated seats to a t6 that doesn’t have them already?

I’m assuming it’s not that straight forward. You will need a button on your dash to turn them on! So you’ll need power to that & a suitable button
I was thinking more OEM parts, but I’m assuming the wiring won’t be there behind the dash for a control panel like this?(I hope this works

Thanks Ads,
So it’s do-able, just a tad expensive

Pretty much, mine not swivel and I wired them to the leisure battery. The only issues I had was not knowing the electric caravelle seats require adaptor rails to fit the kombi seat base, make sure you get them with the seats, I was another £90 for the pair. Most of the second hand electric seats seem to be from lhd vehicles so if memory the buttons end up on the passenger side and you dont have the seat belt on sensor. At some point I will probably swap the seat bases over to sort this. Defo a nice upgrade much more comfort and loads of adjustment.
May I ask how much did you pay for yours? And where did you get them from?
I used t5cotswold, good guys, they advertise on ebay but you are better to call or text karl direct, prices are better. I think I paid about £2000 for mine including delivery to the highlands but they didn't supply rails and it was cheaper to go direct to local dealer for them. Initially i thought it was stupidly expensive but once i took the sale of my original seats in it wasn't so bad when you looked at cost of re trimming the original seats in leather and the caravelle seats are defo more comfortable.
Electric ones give you height adjustment at front and rear off the seat if that's makes sense, nice if you are a short a** like me.
Opposite problem for me; I need the seats to go lower!
Hi Jonmick
I'm looking to find the same part but I'm unable to locate it on google using the numbers on the label you show.
Therefore, can you advise which number I need to provide VW or if you can advise of the dealer\supplier you used.
Best regards

I'm going to leave it to an auto electrician I know to work that out

Hi Jonmick, these look great. I'm looking to do the same. Question: How much more comfortable are these seats over the standard T6 ones? Thanks
Has anyone used the kufatec memory seats harness adapter?
I bought it along with two heated/electric adjustable (and memory) seats taken from a caravelle as fitted by another above.
Most of the plugs fit and instructions make sense however there are some short 'lugs' of cable which are supposed to connect into a fuse box under the drivers seat - but my T6 has no such fuse box...? The only one I can find is in the area below the gear knob where the harness won't reach and the instructions don't describe.
Help please...
