Buying a Vito

[BENZZZ]

Hi,

Im looking to buy a vito crew cab 2017 onwards but with 6 seats and auto gearbox.
Almost 99.9% are 5 seaters.
Does amyone know how much it cost to convert the front single passenger seat into a double?? So i can factor this in to my purchase.
Thanks

Sorry I've no knowledge of the 447 so any thoughts might be misleading.
Have you considered insurance implications?

 

[BENZZZ]

Yes as long as the conversikn is done by a proper company then there is not to much issue..

What happens about the passenger airbag?

 

[m80]

For about £40 an occupancy sensor bypass can be fitted, on earlier 639's at least.

I can't see one for the 447.

Have a look at a company called cabmasters for a double seat. They strip out brand new vehicles to be made bulletproof, special forces, police all that sort of stuff. Have a look at their website you'll be amazed at the stuff they've got for sale.

What I meant was ... would a factory double passenger seat have the same airbag configuration in the dash as a single?

I’m on my second w447, I have a 2017 auto crew cab, it’s a great vehicle.

it’s easy to swap the seat for a double. the Facebook owners group is full of people wanting to go the other way, from double to single passenger seat so you’d get someone to swap with £ your way easily. Airbags are all the same.

Yes for sure you can bolt a double seat in, I'm just slightly surprised if the factory setup has no difference in airbag configuration for two front seat passengers versus one.
