Audi A5 seat install

[campagquinn]

Hi all i picked up a pair of A5 cabriolet seats for a bargain price and am looking at adaptor plates to make em fit. I'm not fussed about spinning the drivers seat. But passenger would be nice. The rails are 480mm apart compared to the T6.1 at 440mm wide. So 80mm wider. Are these the normal width for Audi seats ? Where is best to get the adaptors from if you can buy them ? Transporter HQ ones fit ?

I'm not bothered about the heating or lumbar wiring at present

Thanks in advance guys

They're probably different but they actually look very similar to the seats in my Q5 which are super comfy. That said, I suspect I'd miss all the adjustments as well as the arm rests in the van but I think I've seen elsewhere that you can at least fit aftermarket armrests for not a lot of money.

The twin seat isn't working for my wife so these will do until I can source a captains passenger seat. Well at a reasonable price I mean.

They sold me a lowered based with swivel and locking box excellent quality parts from both sellers. All fell into place.

Wow, awesome job fella. Did it take you long ?

 

[campagquinn]

Maybe 2 hours but I was taking my time. Oddly you have to remove the sestbelt from the old drivers seat as it's coded to the van on a 6.1.

 

[BiTurbo]

Yes that’s a thing with the 6.1

All sorted now. Hopefully it's not an issue at MOT time

Looking good man! I like the idea of the lowered base and integrated swivel. How did you find it? Decent quality? Does it rattle or move when driving and it's not being sat in?

It's one thing that's always bugged me about my seats, the fact they are now different heights!

 

[campagquinn]

The seats are same height now and they are rattle free. Really nice quality. Bargain for combined lowered seat l, swivel and safe box. All for £220
