I purchased 2014 Audi A5 Coupe as above, as my daily transport.

Very pleased with car, and whilst I don't need them with the current warm weather the car appears not to have heated seats.

Were heated seats an option on Black Edition back in 2014 or are the seat switches located in some unseen location.

That should be an older shape one and the heated seat switches are on the outside of the temperature control dial.

Hopefully this image works and you can see the outline:

Many thanks for going to the trouble of looking and taking a photograph.

I can see the outline of the heated seat images in your photograph, but I have nothing in that position ?

I have a 2014 S4 with heated front seats (I believe the dash is basically the same) and the switches are as above, below the front seat heater switch (both sides) is a 'blank' which I understand fills the hole where rear heated seat switch would be if they were fitted.

Don't think heated seats would have been standard equipment on S-line/black edition? my S4 is a black edition and the heated (and electric adjustable) seats were an option when new.

To add, download the 'My Audi' app and get it set up for your car and it will show you the standard and optional equipment plus access to online service records etc.

They were a cost option when new. If the button's blank they're not fitted.

Retrofit is possible but costly and involved to do properly. Aftermarket ones are "good enough" and work OK if fitted by a decent trimmer, but will have a generic switch on the side of the seat. £7-800 quid will probably do it for the fronts. Adding them as per factory could be 2-3 times that amount unless you source used parts and DIY a lot of it.

That's not my car, it's a stock image I zoomed and cropped for reference.

If there is just a blanking plate there then likely they weren't fitted.

Many thanks everyone for taking the time to educate me.

The conclusion is that I don't have heated seats and I'm unlikely to go the retro route.

The last Audi we had was A3 Sport Back not long after they first came out, It was my wife's car and the suspension was too hard for her so it had to go replaced by a Focus which dare I say on an Audi forum was a more likable car

Prior to that and in the last century I had Audi 100, build quality was on another level.

Current family car is Kodiaq VRs 245Bhp and will keep up with the A5 but not indefinitely

again , many thanks
