I noticed that I rarely used the driver seat swivel function so I had
Stephans Autohaus in Sacramento put it in a box for me.  Now there is plenty
of room to install batteries and such in both posts forward, posts backward
or however one would like along with plenty of space for amplifiers, hidden
compartments, lodging for formerly homeless spiders or whatever.  ALSO it
lowers th seat a bit allowing one to actually see the instruments through
the Scirocco steering wheel.  (upgrade).  Thanks to Seth at jammyauto H&R
for the ideas on the removal and Stephan at  Stephans Autohaus
Stephansautohaus.com for the fine service and excellent quality.

SDM ?  Is this still a 'for profit' event?

Also notice that the original battery relay is not your ordinary relay it
has a signal steering diode inside.  So one might consider installing a
diode along with the relay.  Visit your local Bentley and carefully peruse
the wiring diagram.  Note the p/n for the relay on the ETKA is different
from the 'garden variety' Hella/Bosch 30A cube.
