s5 interior into s4?

Refurbishing the interior of my 7, Wondering if an s5 dash/speaker-surrounds/console will fit. Will the seats fit as well?

I know that the door cards are interchangeable, but I want to put some leather and a dark black interior instead of the gray or blue color that comes in the s4 (it's so fugly).

Thanks!

I did it to mine. Everything fit fine, but your going to run into some prolbems if you try to fit an interior with auto seat belts into a car that had regular seat belts. With mine I had a cage put in the same time and used 5 point harnesses.

I did mine. No problems with fittiments except the Lense to the Idiot Cluster has to be used for s5 Interior. Rear Trunk Lid Brackets have to be screwed In. No holes present In s4. Besides that, everything Is plug and play.

I did it, everything was fine, except the guage cluster. When I put in the s5 one everything was messed up, I replaced it with the s4 unit, and everything was normal. I heard you can switch the wires around in the 2 plugs that go into the cluster, Does anyone have the wiring diagrams?

Or get the correct harness. Using a S5 cluster harness with a S5 gauge assembly is the correct way to do it.

If you are convinced you want to convert your harness, I have posted the diagram a couple of times, you may wish to use the seach function found in the upper right hand corner of this page
