seat arona (year 2020) front passenger seat removal?
- Thread starter ben_ten
- Start date
I did move the Ateca one once. Had a great plan to change the front brackets only issue is between Tiguan 1 and 2 they changed the seat rail bracket. It was a device to get the front seat further backwards to get more upfront legroom.
Your issue will be the air bag wiring I reckon. If you look underneath you might see cabling going to the seat. If so you are a bit stuck. If you disconnect that after reconnecting you'd have to clear the airbag warning lights. VCDS / Obdeleven.

If there is an airbag lead that you have to disconnect then you do a clear faults with a coding device once reconnected. You might totally stop the airbags from going off. It's whatever you find under the seat. The Ateca passenger side did have the accelerator device couple to the seat from memory, so I was pretty careful with the connections. I haven't really studied what's under the Arona passenger seat. It's airbag cabling to look out for.

So, in other words, taking a front seat out of a modern car, is a job for experts who have the correct scan tool and the correct technical know how to prevent either an accidental "airbag going off in the face", "airbag controller now needs replacing" etc etc.
On the other hand, if you can live with never ever having a front passenger seat in this car, maybe seek out an airbag and seat sensor emulator if anyone provides them, and get an expert to fit it to the now disconnected connectors below the seat. A really bad idea though, get a van instead.
