Default would Audi dealers put factory items into my 2nd hand 06 A3? please read on...

hi all~this is my first post in this forum.
i just purchased a pre-owned 2006 Audi A3 2.0T automatic with 5k miles on it...
i love everything about it...
except that it has cloth seat!

i wanted a A3 withheated leatherseat, bascially the cold weather package. but since i bought a pre-own, there aren't much choices for me to choose from.

so...i was just wondering, if i take my car into Audi dealers, would they install factory heated leather seats back into the vehicle? would they bother to install factory items into my pre-owned A3?

if not, do you guys know any place that would install heated seats in my vehicle?

thank you!

Sure you don't want to just get sheep skin seat covers to keep warm? Audi dealers will be a quite expensive, better to trade your A3 for one you want.

I doubt they would install afactory option such as that. That is why they are called factory fit options, as they are fitted to the vehicle when it is being built for a buyers specification. You could always try, but it would be a fortune from Audi.

I too bought an 06 with low miles and it has cloth (grey). IMHO the color Audi chose was not good as it's too light. So I ordered a set of charcoal grey sheep skin covers. Installed, they look great and feel great.

Have you considered after market leather seats?
I had a set of Katzkin black leather, HEATED seats installed in my 02 Wrangler. I also had the "Jeep" logo stitched into the seat back. The seats wore like iron and the heated option was great in a cold, soft top Jeep.
Go to this site: http://www.katzkin.comand click on the 'installer search' to find a detailer in your area.
FYI, I did a search for A3 seat application and nothing turned up. However, there is an 800 number you can call and see if they indeed have A3 patterns or not...
