Car seat as a chair / Audi A8 Seat

[mao91]

Aside from the already stated practicality questions, I think this is a pretty rad project. I've thought about what something like this would look like and you've answered that question for me!

Hey, can you please say how assembled bases to seat, so the seat can go back and forward? These two bases. And where'd you get restarms? These are pretty good

Also, how do I use my own PC power supply? Do I need some kind of adapter or what?

For the seat to work properly, we need to find the electrical diagram of the seat

Whoa buddy, whos this "we" you're talking about?

 

Seriously though, that looks better, and is probably way more comfortable that most of these gaming chairs available.

Great work!

I thought about making something like this and I even found several videos and blog posts from people who made ones from cheap seats.

The idea of using a seat like this with massage and heating crossed my mind but I don't even want to know what it costs and I didn't even think about wiring issues.

 

I have to ask, where did you buy the seat?

I can only find listings on whole interiors or used seats, which is not something I want to sit in while wearing my pyjamas.

You can find those seats cheap on ebay, its easy to find and wire if you buy from audi A5 / A6, A8 is more complicated.

Hey there. How did you get the wiring to Work? I bought a simular comfort seat from BMW 5 series 2013 with the same idea. How ever when i connect ground and red Wire to the seat still nothing moves electrically. 

 

Did your seat also have a module ?

Hi

 

take a look if this car needs a module to control the seat, sometimes you will need a module to wire the commands for the seat
