Default Looking to replace 2nd row center console with center seat



I need help with this conversion.
The MKII has a center seat in the 2nd row, and it would be a perfect replacement of my 2nd row center console, but i don't know if it will be compatible with the MK 1...
I'd love to keep the heated 2nd row seats AND have Isofix in the center seat. Ideal solution!

Interesting option package you have; I've not seen a 4L Q7 with the rear, middle console prior, but I see you are located in Spain, and we don't get all the toys here. In USA we got 7 seats/3rows setup as standard. It'd be easy enough to swap out the 4L Q7s 'heated' seat to get the +1, but dunno if the Isofix was offered for that middle seat on 4L Q7 in Europe or not. We don't have the Isofix anchors on the 2d row, middle seat in North America.

As to compatibility with the 4M chassis second row seating; the 4M is a clean-sheet design, so what are the odds? Do some research/go to wrecking/parts recycler and do some measuring, etc. Guess it comes down to how important is having the seat anchors on that middle seat.

I've only seen one configured like this in the US, and it was in an auction listing. I would love to replace the center seat in my 4M with a console like this if it was possible.

I managed to replace the second row.
Now the whole center console + two heated/air condictioned seats is up for grabs.
If you're interested let me know!

Wait, the second row is ventilated as well? Now that might be worth the price of entry.

I think your vehicle needs to be equipped with both the cold weather and warm weather packages (e.g., have the controls in the rear of the front console) in order to take advantage of any features within the second row seats.
