- We've designed this seat plates to be the perfect central seating position when using a car seat instead of the van shaped seat. The plate in this video isn't designed to work with swivel seat bases.
We will soon release a plates slightly offset that will still give you are great seating position but will also allow the seat to swivel.
This is a really easy DIY job and there are lots of Golf GTI, Audi A3 seats etc available on market place and ebay etc.
There is something about Wing back seats that make the van feel like it handles better. I know its a big slab sided object and not a race car, but the way the seats lock you in, make it feel more stable when cornering.
Please do hit that like button, it means a lot. Please also share this video with anyone that has a transporter and may want to change the seats for some more 'car like'

Fits perfectly rear-facing in our truck, which has a slightly smaller back seats. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkx6_FKRYB2ClSPRyjcd8HptiCS3EiQoNX4 Feels as comfy and plush as our Graco Contender carseat.
What a simple but great product tried to fit golf gti seats to my t5 a couple years ago wasn't happy with the mock up and safety aspects defo going to look for some seats now 😀.
Great, glad we can help.
Cant wait for one with the passenger swivel. Mithc... you ledge. Andy.... WHAT A BEARD
Haha, thank you sir :)
I absolutely love these videos, so informative 🙌💯
Thanks Glen, really glad we can help.
Well done Dan chambers on these
Dan didn't design these, he did use these to modify to help this with the swivel version we're releasing in a few weeks.
Ooo yeah! Very tempting! Great video as normal. 👌🤙
Thanks Neil, appreciate the comment
Great vid, as always, doing a Stella job on the van
Thanks Josh.
Excellent video top marks to the design team....💯
Thank you, I'll pass on your comment to them. It's very much appreciated
The Beards coming along nicely 👌
Haha, thank you Sir 😊
Fantastic product keep them coming take care everyone and keep warm👍👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌👌
Thanks Peter. These heated seats should help.
Looking forward to the swivel base version!
We'll have them soon
The product ive been waiting for 😃
Perfect timing then 😊
can't wait to get these i have two single Audi s3 seats.
Perfect, S3 seats are lush 👌
I’ve just got my first vw t4 . I’ve been wanting one for years now. It’s abit special and hopefully one day meet up with you guys. 👍🏼😊 ps I will be changing the seats at some point .
Good luck with your T4 😊 it would be meet you
@@THQAutomotive thanks guys 👍🏼😉 be seeing you soon
Those seats are gorgeous. I wish I could buy the mods I want rather than the mods I can afford 😏
They are pretty special I have to admit ☺️
Nice 👌
Thanks Kevin 😊
Does the wiring for the transporter and the golf match up? Airbag etc
Brilliant,ive got seat FR leather front seats and ive always felt like i sit too far the left of the steering wheel,hope this can fix it.
Yes that's exactly the issue and the reason we've made them offset like this 😊
Unreal! Can you put the link in the description to buy the starlight headliner aswel please 🤣🤣
Haha, that's just fibre optics kits off Amazon and about 50 hours of work 😳
@@THQAutomotive im sure i remember watching some videos of you making it but cannot find them now, any chance you could point me in the right direction?? :) cheers
How did you do the airbag and Seat warmer? I changed to a Golf seat in my T6 1 and airbag and ACC is permanent fault
Sooks super good!!
Does someone have a link to the plate used for mounting? That would be super helpful :)
hahahha in the notes :p im blind
Finally a nice product which doesn’t add loads of height to the seats. Will you be selling single plates for those who want a nicer drivers seat but want to keep the bench?
Yeah, we'll change it so there is a single option on Monday
Does this actually make the seat height lower with the different seat. I’m looking to lower by 30mm
Do you need extra bolts to attach the new seats to the adapter plate? If so what bolts?
How do the seats compare for driver height etc? If I was to install Audi a3 S- line seats? Anyone know
Have you developed any side panels yet? i couldnt see them on the website?
Guys, great video! I’ve just purchased some plates for swivel bases and I’m not sure of the correct orientation of the plates. Any help is appreciated. Thanks
drop mitch@transporterhq.co.uk an email. He'll help.
Will Audi R8 seats work with this adaptor to fit to a T6?
I have a t5.1 . Can i fit audi a8 seats? If so how easy is it to connect power for electric seats and seat heating? Would bentley seats fit?
Can you use only the driver plate and change that seat and still run the double passenger seats? Will there be enough room with the new driver seat with the new position? I know it may depend on the seat you chose to replace the original.
Yes no problem at all
When you come for the THQ vids and stay for the beard 👌🏻🤣
Haha! Let's see how much longer it is by the next video 😅
It is a very fine beard 👍
@@streakyfish it's getting there.
Should dye it white and….Bingo!….perfect Santa!….🎅🏻
@@steve61098 I won't need to soon. It's turning that colour anyway
2019 SQ5 seat comparable? and more general question do audi c6,c7 etc seats have the same fixing points/dimensions pls?if not which are the plates pre drilled to fit.Thanks
Yes i believe they would but I couldn't say 100%. If not they would be the right size to drill new seats side holes. I think they'll be fine though.
I need to stop watching your videos, my little brain is thinking faster than my wallet can open and close
Haha! 😜
I’ve got a pair of Audi rs6 seats, will I be able to fit these in my van using your plates? Also do you do a swivel adapter plate for passenger side ?
Yes you will :)
The video doesn’t show how the plate fits to the base as the video is from the rear towards the front. It should show from above the work that’s involved
no one has had a problem. Its pretty self explanatory
Is it a specific single passenger side seat base you need or does a driver side work in the passenger position?
You can use a driver and remove the handbrake bracket
Any news on dates on flush opening windows .
End of January
Don't suppose you guys do similar for the Caddy so you don't have to get the Touran bases?
No sorry
How about a Small storage unit between the seats?
I think someone does that. Maybe Travelin lite.
What happens if you have heated seats. Can you use the same cables for the new seat if it’s also heated?
You may need to change the wiring / connectors slightly. These wing back are heated and we made them work with the OEM controls
What extra parts would I need for the heated seats if my van came without
You can buy retro fit heated seat kits on Amazon / eBay etc. They come with heat pads and switches
@@THQAutomotive
I’ve got heated seats I just need to power them.
Thanks 🙏 I will have a look
Hi! Does the T5 airbag connector fit also vag car seats?no mods required?
It depends, some may need connectors changing. It's all easy enough though
Can these be used with a rusty Lee single passenger swivel base ? 👍
If you watch the video we explain that. We are currently designing a version that will work with Swivels
Hi my t6 seats are heated if I get a set off gtd gti heated seats will the connection match. Thanks.
You may need to change the connectors
do the vxr seats work with the plates or just the vag group
The whole in these are for VAG seats. I would think they could easily be drilled to work with other seats though. The important part is they match up with the Transporter bases.
Hi THQ, just bought a pair of these plates to fit mk7 golf r seats in my t5.1.
The holes in the seat rails are much wider than the bolts supplied so it seems as though the seat would have a lot of play before tightened down. Is this right? My rails look exactly like the ones in the video.
Also i have 3 sort of flanged nuts, and 1 normal nut in each pack. Is this on purpose and where does each nut go. Could do with some better idiot proof instructions 😂
Hello, please email mitch@transporterhq.co.uk. He can help
In the future will you be selling just the drivers side?
We can sell them as singles. Drop me an email andy@transporterhq.co.uk
Will they be available on the European site ?
Yes
Hi, where can I get hold of some front seats for a T6.1 Transporter? We have one on order but won’t to GTI style seats…
ebay or facebook market place seem to be the best places to get them.
@@THQAutomotive okay thanks, I’ll have a look 👌🏻
Did you have them recovery in blue?
Yes we did.
Do these work for the 2017 onwards crafter ?
We've only tried them in a Transporter sorry, I don't know.
@@THQAutomotive ok thanks 👍
Hi dumb question if these plates are fitted to a t5 will the handbrake clear the plate ???
Yes it will no problems
Can’t see these on your website yet?? When are they available?
Are you in the UK? If so the link is in the text for the video above.
@@THQAutomotive ah I’m currently viewing in Finland but back in the UK next week
Have you done the 3D printed plastic yet to hide the mechanisms?
Not yet but they are close.
Can these be used with swivel seat bases?
We have the swivel version also for sale on the website. transporterhq.co.uk
Would these work with Porsche 911 seats? Just curious
I don't know. You'd need to measure the fixing points. If not it's likely the plates could be re-drilled
Without meaning to swear at you… would these fit the CMC single swivel base?
Only because it saves me buying an extortionate single seat base and then a swivel plate on top.
That's a good question. I would think so as they're build for a Transporter seat I believe. I couldn't tell you 100% though. You can always send them back if they don't fit
@@THQAutomotive brilliant - thank you for coming back to me - appreciate that.
Especially seeing as it involved using another product aswell! I’ll get them ordered today 👍
@@THQAutomotive to answer - yes they do!
Thanks guys, now have a t5 with some sweet mk5 gti seats in 🤙
Are they TÜV approved?
No sorry, we don't need that in most countries and it would make them really expensive if we had to spend the thousands of pounds getting them tested.
@@THQAutomotive That's sad, would be road legal in Finland then as well.
Fit T 4 ?
No sorry
@@THQAutomotive Ah well never mind ,I'll stick with my captain chairs !
How much for Recaro seat？
You can pick them up for around £2000 a set. Then leather trimming if you want to change the look.
@@THQAutomotive I went to your link below and found that there is a problem with the selected shipping method so I can't order it
@@hk265668 Hello, sorry i don't know why. It seems to be working fine for everyone else.
@@THQAutomotive My delivery address is already very detailed
New seat look very ugly and they change the position to much lower
I like them and love the position 🤷🏻♂️
