Ben’s Kombi MTB Camper build

Post by BWH888 »

Got around to finishing off the heated/elec lumbar seats. I fancied making my own loom rather than buying, using genuine repair wires for connection to fuse box, HVAC and BCM. Luckily my seats came with both halves of the electrical connector. All joints soldered, heat shrinked and the loom wrapped in cloth loom tape. It’s about a 5h job including stripping out the seats and accessing the dash connectors, making up the loom and putting it all back together. Oh, and coding the BCM.

I’ll find out later if this has cured the annoying mirror whistle.

Did the carpet on the inside of the mirror join cure the whistling? Brilliant idea regardless.

Loving this!
Do you know how much all the sound deadening weighed?
