help needed

i am thinking of fitting universal heated seat elements , what i need to know is can i use the climate controll heated seat switch instead of the switches that come with the heat pad kit.
any help would be great.
 
For whats requires doing anyway in the seat & to the climate then my advice is to fit genuine ones, as you have to take the same parts out & do the same wiring, for me it would be silly to fit non standard heated seat parts in this scenario as there's no guarantee they will work properly or at all & if they go wrong you have to take the seats apart again to repair, I've had 4 audi's now with heated seats & not one oem solution has failed.

I have studied the wiring & it has circuitry that maybe of use, but as it relies on temp sensors aswell, I'd stick to oem.
 
if i go for the oem, what parts do i require, and when complete does the heated seats need to be vagcomed or is it plug and play
