i went to put an s5 dash into my s4, and the two big connectors that stick out between the blower and a/c unit are different. (each connector has around 10~15 wires). the wires are different colors and everything. is there a write up somewhere about splicing the connectors or something? i know plenty people have done the swap....

 

when i did it just did the shell part, used all of the s4 electronics and everything, theres really no point to swapping everything else that i can see.

 

i really didnt want to pull the whole dash harnesses off and swap them, but is that what it comes down to?

 

Man thats gonna be one hell of a project! Keep us posted.

 

looking at it it wont be too bad at all. im not pulling the harness on the car- just swapping the one thats attatched to the dash.

 

Swapping the S5 dash into the S5 is not difficult at all. Same dimensions, same piece really, just different color (maybe). Definitely swap your dash harnes. It's small and easy to remove/reinstall.

Another thing to keep in mind if you actually care. The S5 dashes use a heavier duty steel frame. You may want to put your S4 frame in the S5 dash. It fits, don't worry.
