Any ideas on cost to do this ?

 

Not much.

110 EUR VAG parts
60 EUR tools (trim wedge and pliers - can be used in the future projects)

 

excellent DIY description.

I have this option ordered from new.
and it surprises me that this memory option only affects the drivers seat.
have not seen a possibility to include the passenger seat in this.

any suggestions ??

 

Been thinking about that.

The button block and surrounding frame may be taken from RHD version, however I'm not sure if the system can handle TWO memory seats simultaneously.

Honestly, driver's seat was the main target because my wife ocassionally drives the car and it's a PITA to restore the settings without memory buttons later

 

Could 1 or number of you guys do some vcds logs for me please, so I can look at some coding for memory seats, working on a car atm & apart from component protection, need to research some stuff aswell, please PM me if you're able to help & I will provide more info on what I would like if thats ok, thanks.

 

Which module coding is needed in particular?

 

Sorry for delay in reply, Adams car was fun to the extreme with lots of surprises for the seat install lol.

I would like please, the long coding & an adaptation controller map for 06, 36, 42, 52, 16, 17, 09, 46 & 5F if thats ok so I can compare some coding.

Ben could you also provide the same info please mate given yours is facelift

TIA guys.

Also passenger memory can be fitted afaik, there's a coding option, so I suspect when the module is fitted to the door module & coded it should work, but this may be reliant on a specific door module fro regions that allows such thing, like China, only 1 way to find out, Adam fancy being a guinea pig with existing modules?

 

Great installation, right in line with what I am hoping to do. I want to install a door module on the right hand (passenger side) of my 2012 A5 so my wife has the same functions as the drivers side. Can any members with RH drive tell us the part number for the door module? A RH drive switch model will curve the right way.
Any ideas and indights would be greatly appreciated. Am very hesitant anbout opoerating on may baby. Would hate to mess it up. I still have to confirm what motors and data bus configuration I have on the Pass. side.

Thanks

 

For precise advice, would be very beneficial to know the p/n's of your car's passenger seat and door modules (info can be found via VCDS).

 

Pass. Seat Memory.

Unfortunately my car is in storage for another month with only one side easily accessable. Can't bear to drive it in winter with all the salt they use on the roads here in Ottawa. Next time I go to start it I will take an inspection mirror and see if I can get some part numbers. Seat module should be easy however the door module will be impossible without removing the panels.

No need to disassemble anything. Just get VAG-COM and query corresponding module - among other information you will get the VAG number.

 

Am stuck there, I don't have a VAGCOM. Have been thinking about it but as a new owner am very uncertain if I would get enough use from it to outweigh the cost. Also rather nervous about taking apart a new car. Took lots of flack about spending this much on a car can't imagine the comments if I broke it.

 

Cumberlandjames there may be someone who lives close to you willing to do the adaptation in return alcohol/sexual favours.

In VCDS I have Address 43 Door Elect, Driver (J386) which im assuming is the wrong module, may get a price from Audi direct.

 

Nino,
If I understand it correctly, the J386 module is required for the door, whereas the J136 module controls the seat operation. So you will still need the J386 module.

Tomcat,
I have a J136 drivers mem module (same module number but mine is a right hand drive car) and also a J521 pass seat mem module. Does this mean I could connect the memory seat switches to both sides?

Further to previous, VCDS part no's below. Can anyone help and also advise part no.s for a right hand drive car?

Thanks

Seat Memory



Thanks, I can see I will have to break down and invest in a VAGCOM cable.

 

Tomcat,

Thanks for the reply. I'll have a look at it again.

Cheers

Marty

 

I fitted the switch and enabled it last weekend in a RHD car.

However, the manual refers to a beep when storing the seat position and the mirror positions also being stored for driver1 and driver2?

Has anyone figured how to enable these features?

 

Hi,
Is there any reference to this in the owners manual?

Do you know what part number your drivers memory seat and door module are by any chance?

 

Minor success this weekend. I enabled the confirmation beep when setting the memory buttons:

[36 – Seat Mem. Drvr]

[Coding - 07]
Byte 1
Bit 3 = 1

Still can't get the mirrors to recall though :-(

The part numbers of my modules are:
Seat memory module: 8T0 959 760 B
Door module: 8K0 959 793 (full convenience version)

The switch and trim part numbers for a RHD car are:

Door trim 8T2 959 528 A1 <-- you need to get correct colour to match the rest of the door trim
Switch 8T0 959 779 V10 <-- available in any colour you like provided its black

 

Dan,
Useful info thanks for that. I hope to get mine installed in the next week or so.
Did you manage to get any further with the mirrors?

 

Not yet, but just done some digging, and ....

I wonder if the dipping mirror on reverse is clashing with the memory recall? Cars without seat memory use the door controller to "store" the mirror position when dipped. I wonder if I've enabled the controller memory when I enabled the dipping mirror last year.

I'll try and check this weekend.

 

Just bought the parts to do this to my car, cost me just short of £60 using new parts from audi and memory control switch I found on eBay for £18! Just need to fit, will take pictures of every step for step by step guide for extra help for others

 

Dual seat memory

Was very pleased to see your post. My A5 being Canadian is LH drive where I assume yours is RH. Can you enlighten us on what parts you purchased? Also, what the original configuration of the car is. Mine has the driver seat memory and the ability to synchronise the two seats. Additionally, the passenger seat automatically returns to the original position after being folded forward to allow access to the rear seat. I assume this is standard on all varieties regardless of country. I am not sure if these functions would indicate that all the memory modules are present and all that is required is a switch block. Something maybe the more experienced users can answer.

Thanks,
look forward to hearing from you and viewing your modification process.

cheers

Jim

 

for some reason when doing my wiring over the past couple of days ive had some issues. all the wiring is correct and done to both this guide and what other members on here have told me to do, have double checked everything but E97 panel is not illuminating what so ever.

So...

Im going to order myself a door loom with seat memory connector from factory in the loom and fit that instead then get it coded in and will work fine and dandy.
Only thing holding me back from this is my timing on the decision as now im going to have to wait until tomorrow to order it

Part number for anyone who wants to change their loom instead of adding to it is:

8T0 971 029 C - £103

 

Hi Bones,
Apart from the switch not illuminating, does the memory function now work okay?

 

Update

Hey there,

I am working on the retrofitting of the function as well. My wiring diagramm says, that this is also a connection between door control unit J386 and seat control unit J1236. The connection is T20f/16 to T32g/3. Any ideas on that if this wire is really necessary? Or maybe already installed? Cheers to everybody.

 

If you're lucky then it's already installed. Definitely necessary, relays signals from the buttons to the seat control module, via the door module.

It's a 0.3mm² green thinwall line with a black stripe coming off pin 10 of the 10-pin red plug under your seat. From there it runs along the door sill to the door connector, then inside the door to the door control module.

Hope that helps!

 

I would go on a wim and say that if you have the two necessary modules then the wire will be installed already, if not then it will surely be a simple DIY self install with a couple of the wires used in the added wiring done when installing the switch

Under what condition would the wire be already installed? I habe electric seats already, installed from the plant. And with coding I can do seat symetry as well.

Yes, in the wiring diagramm it says, green / red cable. But why is it starting from the T20f connector on PIN 16, and not from the T32j connector at the door control unit. I am not even sure if there is T20f connector (by memory).

@Illben: PIN 10 at the seat control unit? My wiring diagramm says PIN3 on the T32g connector.

 

Steve, the wire is in 3 sections of that one line spread across multiple wiring diagrams. 20-pin memory unit connector pin 3 to 10-pin red female seat plug pin 10, 10-pin red male seat socket pin 10 (in coupling station under seat) to 27-pin inner door pillar pin 26, 27-pin outer door pillar pin 26 to 32-pin door module pin 1.

Really it's down to luck I'm afraid, I've seen just as many people have it and not have it with their comfort seats. If you have folding mirrors/auto-dimming side mirrors/side assist these all increase your chances of having the correct wiring significantly increase. If you have memory mirrors you will always have this line.

 

Hi Ben,

now it gets confusing for me with all the stations in between :-(. Let's say we just leave out the middle part, and look only at the door module (J386) and the driver seat modul (J136) - so only the start and the end. I am going to take care, that the wire is somehow routed in between.

According to my wiring diagramm it is like this:

Start: J386 Door module
Connector: T20f => 20 PINs total
Relevant PIN: 16
On picture connector No. 2

End: J136 Driver seat modul
Connector: T32g => 32 PINs total
PIN: 3
On picture connector No. 2 as well

Is that correct?

Edit: Just took a photo of the three connectors as well. No. 2 is the correct one? On PIN3 I got a green wire with a black line. Is the cable that we are looking for?

 

Fotos

Here photos of the three used connectors...

 

Here photos of the three used connectors...

if i am correct the three connectors shown theres are:
Door control module (blue connector)
T8x connector
and a connector from under the seat?

if so then the illusive wire you are looking for will be on the seat connector

 

well if this blue (or grey) connector is the T32g connector then, I have the cable in place already. Because the wiring diagramm says T32g/PIN3 green/black wire.
And it says in the wiring diagramm "T32g" => 32PIN connector. I don't see any other 32 connector near the door or A-panel.
