What would I need to do a full OEM heated seat swap?

Talk about modifications, or anything else associated with performance enhancements. Have a new idea for performance/reliability? Post it here. No idea is stupid! (please use Detailing and Appearance for cosmetic ideas)

What would I need to do a full OEM heated seat swap?

Post by GoldenLucky »

I'm really bad at doing things practically, and I want heated seats. I dont currently have heated seats. I know there are heated seat covers, but i already have seat covers that I use, and if I added another seat cover on top of that I would feel awkward about it. So I wanted to know how much it would take to do a full seat swap. Fuses, buttons, wires, seats, what all I need to do.

I did this mod 15 years ago. To do it using OEM switches and seats, you need to have a very good understanding of how to read schematics as you will be adding a lot of wiring. I've attached a good starting point.

If you don't have that knowledge, then they make aftermarket pads that you can put under your seat covers that would be as simple as adding power and ground.

Oh, sweet! Thanks a bunch. I will actually be seeing you this summer, would you be willing to work on my car to install these, or do you not do that type of stuff?

Yes I do this type of stuff. Keep in mind this would be very laborious and would be a completely custom job.
