Default Replace Manual Seats with Electric, B6 A4

Not only is there an ugly tear in the leather, but my seats are manual and are limited in seating positions. So, I would like to replace my manually adjusted seats with electric ones. However, I have some questions...

1. Can this be done by Unbolting and Unplugging the old ones and Rebolting and Plugging in the new ones?

2. I do not have the electric lumbar support on my manual seats. Does anybody know what else I need to do to get the seat controls working?

3. What should I expect to pay for a driver's side leather heated seat?

Thanks in advance for all of your help.

Default I believe the power sockets should be under the seats. If you did get power seats, it should be a

plug and play operation? I read somewhere that someone was trying to do the power passenger side and that there was already the power block underneath but no update as to if he got it working or not.

Default All you need are the seats. Everything is plug'n'play and the car is prewired to accept them.

I had power driver's seat and manual passenger. Once I installed the S4 Recaros (both are "power"), the passenger seat became full power as well. All the connections are there (you will have to upgrade the fuses tho).

Didn't you say you wanted to trade those Recaros for regular seats? =P

Default Oh yes, I'm still planning that trade when I sell the car

In about 950-1200 days or so.

you'll need to run power to the seats since you don't currently have power or even lumbar support.
