Hello everyone,
Decided to show off my Leon.
Bought it in 2022, car is manufactured at 2018, had nice package from factory - leather interior, full led lights, ACC, Line assistant, DSG, VR panel, MIB2 High, actually quite nice package for Style version. Ah it have 1.6 diesel engine with 85kw, for me it is enough as it is daily car, cruising to work and so (sunday car is Kodiaq).
And then... Browsing internet and forums, I can't sit still and retrofitting begins...
Will write about retrofits in backward order, and will post some older retrofits later.
So.. This time is about retrofitting memory seats.
As Kodiaq have memory seats, I was always wanted them also in seat as sometimes with this car drives also wife. So started to search, and found Ergo seats from Octavia 4 in mint condition, black leather and so, but missed this deal due somebody was bought it faster. Those seats had ventilation and so but ehh nothing this time.
I continued to search, it taked few months, I was looking for both front memory seats, but no luck. Then suddenly appeared memory seats from Kodiaq for sale, driver seat was with blown airbag, no leather, but the price was great and even control modules was under the seats (price for seats was like price only for control modules). So searched a bit in internet about to construction of seats itself, luckily I taked out seat from my Kodiaq to test fitment and it fitted nice, but not great (seat height is bit higher in minimal position) but it was like I need, so I bought them.
Going to pick up seats to another country also was like a small adventure with my 5 years old son, but this story is not about that...
So bringed seats home, after few days started to tear down new seats untill frame, and then teared Leon seats, and no wonder, Leon cushions was fit nicely to Kodiaq frames! Even connectors for wiring under seats fitted Leon<>Kodiaq. And Airbag from Leon too was fitted on Kodiaq frame, actually it was same looging, just different fitting holder which can be changed to needed one. I was happy enough, because in internet there is not much information for such a transformations... So done both seats, and then started wiring, It was not hard, made my own wiring combining Kodiaq and Leon wiring and it works great for me.
Putted everything together was no wonder, everything worked after correct codings and so, but only in Infotainment 5F there is appearance problems for "Easy Entery" function menu, probably somebody can help with this.
After a while started to dream about massage in drivers seat, started to search for module, and viola, found used module in Poland, for very VERY cheap price. Immediately contacted seller if he ships to my Country, and after on week I received module.
Was spent a few weeks for correct to find correct datasets for this as it appeared new moduly with no dataset on it... But at the end now I have memory seats with massage function, and everything works great.]
For now is enough, a bit long story for one retrofit, thanks for reading.
Here is some pictures from process.
