|Regarding the wires for the seat power, there should be a standard connector block under the carpet flap down by the seat runner on the floor

Well my seats are from a 2001 car and has a 5 pin plug, figured out that I need a permanent live and ignition live to the plug in order to power the relay in my seats

Rooky1,

Did you ever get your electric seats in?

I bought some series early 1 leather seats to fit to my Dad's facelift Series 1 (2006) VTR+, and I can't find the extra wiring for the electric seats. Only the airbag and seat belt sensor wiring...

Without knowing what C5 you got them out of I'm not going to guess, because PSA often change wiring colours and with seat airbags, if you accidentally trigger these it could be fatal.

Hi John,

I‘ve got. the same problem, i wanted to retrofit the seats on my C4, without the right Plug under the Seat.🙁
How did you get the seats working? Just live and earth isn‘t enough, Even the Heating on passenger side wants 3 wires…

Thanks in advance
Robert from Austria
