Anyone contemplating ISOFIX

Post by Amosu » Mon Feb 14, 2005 12:13 pm

Just been reading through the other posts in here and came across some people asking about this...

When I went to purchase my B6 S4, it did not have it fitted, but I was told it was a simple job to retrofit, so got it included in the purchase price, along with two seats.
I have to say that the colours on the seats are by no means ideal, but the seats themselves I am VERY impressed with. They literally take 10 seconds to fit and remove, compared with several minutes each for the beasts I have to put in and take out of my wife's car on a regular basis.

If you are planning on ferrying young kids about in your rockets, I can certainly recommend them

My S4 doesn't have the ISOFIX either despite when my VIN was entered in their computer it says it has it. They've quoted £130 so I think I'll contact Audi Customer Services and see if they'll pick up the tab. The brochure also says the outer rears should have it.

What seat have you got? I had a trial fitting of a Jane Rebel (as part of a 'travel system') and the assistant said it was the best fitting she'd ever had with any seat in any car! It was rock solid just using the seat belt. I do like the ease of kit of ISOFIX though.

LMFAO!

with regards which seats they are... not sure. They have the Audi logo on the side and the manual didn't have it listed either... will have to check when I get home this evening. Will let you know

ROFL

Well he was spot on with the make. They are exactly as stated above and do a very good job of looking after my little bundles of puke and poo
