Volkswagen ID.5 Headrest Replacement Parts

Yes, the ID.5 does have removable headrests on its seats — they are not fixed units. Both front and rear seats have individual headrests that can be sourced separately from a breaker.

The Volkswagen ID.5 launched in the UK in 2022 and is currently a single generation with no significant facelift boundary to date, so headrests from 2022 onwards are broadly from the same generation. That said, trim level matters — seat style and headrest design can differ between trim grades — so confirm the trim level matches before buying. Ask your breaker to check against your registration to be sure.

Yes, trim level can affect seat style and therefore headrest design on the ID.5 — the Life, Style, and GT trims are known to have different seat specifications, with GT models typically featuring sport-style seats that may use a differently shaped headrest. Always tell the breaker your trim level as well as your registration so they can match the correct part.

No — drivetrain (RWD or 4WD) has no bearing on seat or headrest fitment, as these are interior parts determined by generation and trim rather than powertrain. You can disregard the motor configuration entirely when searching for a headrest.

Yes, position matters — front headrests and rear headrests are not interchangeable and may differ in size and shape, so always specify whether you need a front or rear headrest when contacting a breaker. For rear headrests, also note whether it is the nearside (NS, left), offside (OS, right), or centre position, as these can also differ.

A standard headrest with no integrated electronics is a straightforward swap that most owners can do themselves — they typically pull straight off and push back on. However, if your headrest contains any active safety components such as an active head restraint mechanism, confirm this with the breaker and consider professional fitting to be safe.
