I was tempted to simply cut & mount the switch into the side of the plastic centre console which would be simple & look neat enough but I want everything to be reversible if needed.
I assume one of your drilled holes was the existing hole in the side mount for the 5/6-pt harness strap bar? That spot would be a non-starter for me as I already have the harness strap bar installed on my bases. I will need to find another solution, but I agree with you about keeping everything on the Nogaro seat setup to keep things completely reversible and a complete package if/when the time comes to sell the seats.
That's correct, I'm using a Schroth 4 point.
If you turn the switch horizontal you can mount it further rearward on the side mount, either way you will need good drill bits & patience.
There is a template included for cutting the switch mount hole. Wiring is a breeze (I used the seat switch for a power source).
I also purchased all the oem wiring clips/fittings rather than harvest them from my original seats, so they are a simple plug & play when/if I need to re-fit the standard seats.
Oh and I had Steve at 'codemybimmer' remove the warnings etc.
Now that it's done I would definitely recommend fitting the Rostra kit, it gives you much more back rest adjustability & is a better solution than the simple hand pump type (which I've had in the past). Thanks
