Here as a newcomer I've been progressively upgrading my work-issued Vito as time and funds permit since I bought it a few months ago.
It's a 2013 model with a facelift, 113cdi long wheel base (LWB), manual transmission, and a rather low level of equipment.
The installation of heated leather front seats was on my list of things to accomplish.
I found a set of Viano leather front seats and, since I was aware that they could be split in half, I swapped them out with my Vito's original driver's seat. I also installed three-stage carbon heated elements and intended to wire in the switches at some point, but then I saw a set of Vito Brabus wheels for sale on eBay.
To check out the Brabus alloys and front spoiler, I traveled to Matlock (Derby), where the gent named Jason negotiated an excellent price for me, and where I also bought a few ancillary parts. This gets me back to the subject at hand, since one of them is the original heated seat switches for 3-stage heated components.
If I wanted to utilize the OEM switches with the carbon heated elements, would I need to create my own loom or use the loom that came with the elements?
Below is a picture of the vehicle that was used by the previous company.
