Sadly no real clues - the seat heating elements are glued to the upholstery, and there's a control unit that sits under the base. It's possible the elements are present but not the control unit I guess on cars without heated seats, but equally possible that the elements are missing too. But in terms of fitting it all, it does look like the control unit plugs into power and the data bus, so probably just a case of taking the seats out and stripping them to fit things. Then obviously telling the main control unit that heated seats are present so the icons appear on the screen and it can send the relevant instructions to control them.

Any diagrams of the location of said CU and associated plugs ?RichR wrote: ↑Thu Jan 27, 2022 8:30 am Sadly no real clues - the seat heating elements are glued to the upholstery, and there's a control unit that sits under the base.

An update!
Car collected and driven North successfully. No major issues to report after one month and 1100 miles.
Retrofit Heated seats are operated by an additional switch on the seat itself - not on screen. Works ok but definitely don't think it's as good as factory.
Some things that have happened - screen update failed once, radio mysteriously silenced and the now infamous "electric motor error (or similar) - don't drive" - all resolved.
Slightly more annoying, and reported elsewhere, the bonnet is badly adjusted, this is in hand, thanks to the forum.
As for the 21" wheels, I'm more than pleased with them, they set the car off nicely and I reckon 19's would have looked silly. I've insured them, just in case.
So, the Enyaq is now officially adopted in the family. Happy days.

Can you elaborate on the work carried out for the retro fit bum warmers ?white67 wrote: ↑Mon Mar 07, 2022 11:07 am An update!

Hi,
Sorry for the extremely late response - I've been away and out of the loop.
(And the miles are piling on with no issues.)
The heated seats were fitted via Skoda Southend, I don't know the actual name of the fitting company.
Email Lee Hockett at Southend for info.
Cheers
Andrew

It would be a good idea to have "AlloyGators" fitted to the rims to prevent damage if kerbed. You can get a huge selection of colours that will complement the car colour. I have a white Honda CR-V 4 years old, that I had white "gators" fitted to. Really makes the car stand out and individual. Am waiting for my Enyaq iV80 to hit the production line and will definitely have rim protectors added. You can order on-line for these and if you are competent, can put them on yourself. Otherwise there are mobile mechanics that will fit for a small fee. Good luck.

A word of caution. According to their website, AlloyGators are not recommended for vehicles over 2500kg and this would include all the iV80 variants of the Enyaq.

Oh, thank you for that advice. Sound advice.
