Title: WTB: MK1 heated seat switch
Post by: Quantum TD on October 09, 2010, 09:55:34 am
Kinda hard to find down here in the US. I thought maybe one of our friends up in the Great North might be able to help out. I'm looking for a MK1 heated seat switch. Yes, they do exist! Here's a PN:

161 963 563

Most likely place to find one would probably be in a late Cabriolet or S2 Scirocco. If you have a plug/pigtail to go with it, even better.

I need one, but two would be twice as nice.

PM me if you can help out. Stolen Pic of what they look like

I use a cheap inverter and AC powered heating pad I bought at the discount store. Geto but effective.

Daayyyyyyuummmmmmmmmmmm Man

That is a sweet item.
Never would have guessed an mk1 had that option.

Hope you had it strait wired to switch power and used it all the time. lol
It was cold enough this winter.

He's back!

Yeah, I've got one coming this week. It's a bit worn, but supposedly works fine. I'm putting this into my Quantum Wagon, and may install some heated seats into my Rabbit GTI. The holes in the dash are the same.

So, I'm still looking for as many as I can find.

If you have a Jetta, Scirocco or Cabriolet, there are plenty of holes. But on a Rabbit, if you pull off your dash bezel, you will see a third hole in the dash frame between the defrost and hazard switches. You can cut out a corresponding hole on the dash bezel to mount it. If you have a Caddy, you can just use the hole where the blank for the defrost switch is. That's how I mounted OEM fog light switches back when I had fogs.

Will it not work?  Will it be an upgrade?  Is it not a simple rocker switch?  Fill me in R.O.R.  I know you know.
