S40 (New) Electrics : - Heated seats

fishbone · Nov 16th, 2019, 15:46

Hi all! Has anybody tried to make seats heated? My car is not equiped with heated seats but I found on them a connector with white green and black wire which is for heating I believe. Also I found two 15A fuses in CEM controller that are fitted for heating. I just don't have switch buttons on the panel to activate/deactivate heaters. Couple days ago I have recieved an used keyboard with these buttons, connected it but heating buttons don't work. Every button is ok but not those two for seat heating, they don't even lighting up.

Who knows how to activate seat heating?

Heated seats are factory fit only and need software , There will not be any suitable software as the factory did not fit heated seats ...

As I just found on youtube that heated seats can be activated in VDASH using VIDA DICE. Have to find someone in my area who can do this for me

I think what Clan is saying is there are no heaters in the seats for a software change to enable.
