Hello,
I retrofitted seats and have run into problems with airbags. as seats got damaged and needed replaced and i had an opportunity to pick up some mint condition leather seats...
however, a few unexpected hiccups!
i would like to know if i can transfer airbags from new seats to old seats, are they compatible?
donor leather electric seats are from a 2011 a5 cabrio b8, pre-facelift.
damaged seats were standard upholstery seats with heating from my 2015 a5 cabrio b8/ 8f facelift -
it is a shame that the yellow connectors are different and that was an oversight.
so now got two options:
1/. swap over connectors , cut wires and reconnect wires to new plug
2/. or completely remove newer airbags from 2015 car and install them in the 2011 leather seats to install
option two seems better idea.
however i do not know if removing over worthwhile as not sure if compatible.
any advice welcome or anyone else experience this?
thanks
