Default 99 or 99.5?

Pretty sure the shape changed with the updated interior of the newer B5s, so you might have some trouble.

Default well...

you'll have to upgrade the console, stereo, fog/heated seat buttons, and the surrounding trim. Plus you'll probably have to do a little custom wiring. But others have done it so it is possible.

Default the reason i was considering it is because I had leatherette heated seats installed in my car

and my previous seats were no heated, so for $50 i could pick up this whole climate control unit with heated seat controls....i thought it would be a cheaper alternative then doing it another way but it seems like you guys don't think it will be a fairly direct swap...

Default well its a pretty direct swap but you need all the other parts

which means $$$$... its up to you. I'd try to just get some heated seat switches from a 96-99 and install them in place of the blank ones and wire it all up
