Kiravans Double Swivel Volkswagen Transporter T5 to T6.1 (2003-2024)
⚠️ Before You Begin Installation
1. Check Your Box
Before you begin the installation, ensure you have all the necessary components. For a T6.1 van or a T5/T6 van with heated seats and/or airbag sensors, you should have:
- The Kiravans double swivel console
- Wiring kit containing a bag of multicoloured wires
- Kiravans special bolt with hole for securing the swivel at its centre.
For standard T5/T6 vans without heated seats or airbag sensors, you will only receive the double swivel console (no wires or additional bolts are required for installation).
2. Remove the Bulkhead
Before installing your double swivel, make sure to remove the bulkhead and metal strip. Watch the video guide below. If this has already been removed, scroll down to our fitting videos.

Watch our Videos
The process for installing this swivel to a VW T5, T6, or T6.1 van is mostly the same, but if you have a T6.1 or a T5/T6 with heated seats/airbag sensors, there are additional wiring steps. The video below covers all versions; skip past any parts that don’t apply to your van model.
