Heated Seats,
The Dealer mentioned that often the French Versions of the same car in the UK has an option for heated seats. Rather than take this out for the UK market the elements are often left in the seat but not wired up.
I couldn't find any option on the French site for the Berlingo Multispace for heated seats, but I would like to know if;
A) they are prefitted but need a supply or
B) how easy is it to retrofit.
I am more interested in the back element than the seat element as after a hard day working My back suffers and I have always had heated seats in previous cars as an option.
Cheers.

It would be interesting to see whether Citroen use a basic loom for all markets with these sort of things just added or deleted according to markets (and thus could potentially be retro-fitted) I am sure that pk can throw some light on this. I can't imagine that on Scandinavian or Russian supplied cars you couldn't specify heated seats!
Slightly off-topic, other anomalies seems to be that in the UK you can have cruise control but it does not appear on the French options. Conversely, the French can specify a tyre pressure warning which I can't see on the UK options.

If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.

Funnily enough, this old fart was farting about at the weekend, I was messing about beneath the driver's seat on my 'lingo mk2. Found the connectors for the seat-belt pre-tensioners and sorted them out (hopefully) but there is another connection block under the seat and I am curious as to what it is or what it does.
Possibly you could have answered my question.....

I am interested in getting the heated seat working if possible for all the same reasons as scarab plus it will keep the old "Chalfonts" warm in winter

Remember that some mk2's did have an electric seat option,underseat wires might have something to do with that.
Just a thought.

From what I can see on the French site, the tyre pressure system is a monitor in the tyre/valve rather than an Abs based system. It is likely that any extras like this, cruise control etc would need to be coded in to the ECU
