Retrofitting Electric seats

Most continental looms are designed for LHD vans so often they are reversed for us RHD minority
If you have the optional extra under seat fuesbox then it will be under the passenger seat, failing that then guessing you will need to extend any fees cables and take to the dash fusebox
 
Yep sorry I should have mentioned - I checked under the drivers and passengers seats, Inc removing the seats and lifting the spongey carpet and no fusebox.

The spare wires from either seat are supposed to be connected to "steady plus K1.30" with a 15A fuse each according to the Kufatec instructions. Andy ideas what steady plus K1.30 means and where it can be taken from on the lower dash fusebox?

I searched on here for an internal fusebox diagram for the t6 but couldn't find one.

Cheers

I think it’s referring to terminal 30 which in English means a permanent 12v feed
 
Ah ok thanks Pauly it's making a lot more sense to me now.

Now just to figure out the CAN bus connections which are equally as vague in the instructions...
 
Any recommendations on t6 electrical experts in the Northamptonshire/Leicestershire area who could undertake the wiring/coding for fitting of electric seats?

Cheers

Hi Did you every get the seats/ wiring sorted out, I have just purchased electric seats from a Catavelle for my T6, looks like I'm have the same issues as you did HELP
 
I bought the kufatec harness which allowed the caravelle seats single plug with loads of pins to connect to my vans various smaller plugs. In hindsight it would have been relatively easy to DIY that part and get the heated seats and electric adjustment working.

What the kufatec harness sold me on was the connection to the BCM for memory function which turned out to be just two small wires that were to be spliced into the BCM connector under the steering wheel which was a PITA. However, when I did this as per the manual and enabled the memory function in VCDS, the van started throwing all sorts of faults with the stereo and climate control system among a few other things. I re-did it a few times to see if I was missing something but the faults were always reproduced.

So in the end I just used the seats without the memory function - everything else worked fine although the heated seats didn't seem to get as hot as my original seats. I think possibly the thicker leather on the caravelle seats require higher wattage on the heat pads.

Edit: Pauly was right with "steady plus K1.30" meaning permanent 12v. I think the kufatec instructions were pretty clear otherwise although as above I never figured out why the memory function didn't work.

Thanks for the quick reply, not worth spending the money on the harness then, I'm going to have a go at fitting them tomorrow, see how I get on before spending money on a harness.
 
Did anyone work out the pinout for the electric seat connector? I'm wondering if I need a controller or if I can just apply power for the motors?
