    Installation of Recaro Pole Position Seats

    Hey Guys,

    I have received my gear from Speedware Motorsports and OemPlus! Thanks to the info from Bodhii we will attempt to install the Recaro Pole Position Seats over the coming weeks.

    I will share as much info as possible and I will take lots of pics along the way:

    1. Advise which part numbers to use
    2. What worked and what didn't
    3. What modifications are required if any
    4. Side Airbag De-activation
    5. PPI Roll Bar Installation
    6. Sparco Race Harness Installation

    Stay tuned and wish me luck!!

    Good luck. I've lived through these mods already, so if you run into any problems let me know and maybe I can help.

    Awesome. Did you disable Side Airbag via Resistor Plug or within VAGCOM?

    I believe my tuner used VAGCOM though I don't have the coding on hand. However, I believe the V10 coding is different from the V8 coding.
