    Yes i know. I might get heated seats in the back and then i can show how to wire it up. The wiring was there before because I changed the seats.

    @@auerdesignhockenheim2227 Interested in seeing how you tap into the wiring harness to power the rear heated seats. And frankly, for the fronts like you did in this video. I'm looking into retrofitting rear heated seat pads and the OE wiring from an Audi A6 for rear heated seats in my mk4 Jetta, but I am waiting for warmer weather to perform the work.

    I brought seats. Used 2000 GTI. from the Pick-n-Pull ,,those are GTI seats...!! regular Mark 4 GLS or GL,, heating element is on the bottom pad ,,great video nonetheless, could have been better without music but good nonetheless. You did leave out wiring, electrical connections, circuit protection issues... personally for me,, I was only looking back at this .as to see if I could catch a glimpse of how to wire these GTI seats into regular mark4 2002 ..the connectors do not match GTI ../ standard mark4Gls GL thank you for the video

    Normally the heating mat is sewn to the seat cover. So that could be a lot of work.
