Ok looking at upgrading the interior in my Rocco at the moment I have cloth manual seats and want to upgrade to leather but most of the leather seats are electric is it a case of plug and play or is it a more involved any help would be greatly appreciated

Leather seats are heated and have electric lumbar support. Your car won't have the harnesses for these functions fitted and would need to be retro-fitted as well as the climate control panel replaced with one with the switches for the heated seats.

Have a search on the forum as I'm sure someone has done it and documented the process.
