Default A8 seats into an A6? How do they fit???

I just boughjt a gorgeous cognac/amaretto leather interior from a 2005 A8 to go into my non sport seat 2000 A6 2.7T.

Has anybody done a similar swap? Both seat sets are 6 way power with heat...

I'm wondering if the plugs will fit and does one just drill through the floor?
HELP???????

You should find the harness diagram for both seats. I would be really interested if you post any success with your installation. I was also thinking about doing so.

I hear you The next post will be something akin to "I drilled a whole through the floor boards of my car and now I'm getting water from the road seeping in"...LOL.

BTW, good luck with the seats...but seriously don't start drilling any holes.

Default A8 seats into A6

I see that there seems to be great humor in my question.So if the coffee stops running through noses and we stop laughing ourselves to death, the question was whether anybody has tackled a similar install?

The A8 mounts are three bolts through the floor and one location pin. The A6 has two rear bolts that go sideways and a front central two bolt fastening.

The A8 seats are identical in size front and rear tho the rears are NOT 60-40 fold downs....I know its hard to believe that the seats are identical in size but they are.

Incidently, there is a post here of an A6 seat removal and the 4 part electrical plug appears to be identical to that on the A8 seats that I have.

I understand this post is old. However, were you able to fit the D3 seats into C5?
