I am installing heated seats in my 2014 Jetta GLI base that did not come with heated seats. I acquired the interior out a 2014 GLI Autobahn which has heated leatherette.
I acquired the wiring harness from a very knowledgable member on VW vortex and wired the car up. I wired up power from the fuse box and also wired in the CCM so that the car recognized that it has heated seats (per instructions).
I replaced the A/C control module with one that has the heated seats button and wired that up too.
After installing the seats, all the new power functions (recline, back forth, up down) work, but the seats do not get warm. The A/C control module lights up correctly but the seats will not warm up.
I measured the voltage and both seats are getting power that changes as you would expect when the level of seat heat is raised and lowered.
So right now I think that I may need to code the car with VCDS so I had a few questions.
1) On my 2014 Jetta, is there an option on coding to enable heated seats?
2) Does this option need to be enabled to make this work? Guy I got harness from seemed to think it was plug & play.
3) If there is an option for this, could someone tell me what submenu it is in?
4) Any other advice from anyone?
Im a little hesitant to mess with the coding myself but there really is nobody in my area that has a VCDS that can help so I may have to teach myself.
I appreciate the help.
