Kiravans VW T5/T6/T6.1 Double Swivel

How to Install your Double Swivel

Before starting installation, check you have everything you need...

For a T6.1 van or a T5/T6 van with heated seats and/or airbag sensors you will receive:

  • The Kiravans Double Swivel console
  • Wiring kit - a bag of multicoloured wires
  • Our special 'holey' bolt to go through the centre of the swivel

For standard T5/T6 vans without heated seats or airbag sensors, you will just have the double swivel console. (No wires or extra bolts are needed).

The process is mostly the same, but if you have a T6.1 or a T5/T6 with heated seats/airbag sensors, there are additional steps. If your van doesn't have these wires, skip to the relevant installation steps.
