I want heated seats. I was just thinking it would be job like adding the radio controls to the steering wheels. I thought is was just a wiring harness and a switch, which I was wrong. The elements are not in the seat; I would have to pull the upholstery and put in the elements and then connect the harness and switch. I would rather pay the $700 than "Try" ripping the upholstery out. I have a tendency to break things on the first try. On the other hand I do have two seats; one to practice and the other actually do right!

 

Many aftermarket stereo shops can install heated seat elements for you.

Check around, you might be surprised!

Kits are available on eBay, in fact.

 

I never really thought of that, good looking out. Too bad my buddy just quit his job at one

 

Hey! If he's out of work...maybe he can stop by and make a few bucks!

 

He was a salesman who was in good with the installers. He quit his job to sale mattresses, why I don't know.

 

Interesting way to pick up a date maybe? Of course I am assuming he is single and that may be invalid...

 

Actually he isn't single... which I am very surprised about. His brother got him the job and brain washed him with "You can make 60k a year selling these things". I don't know about you but when can you recall the last time you bought a bed? And the time before that? People don't knock down the doors to buy a new mattress and box spring everyday. Least at the Car stereo shop there is always eye candy wanting to buy a new cell phone, stereo, speakers, etc.

 

So you think people have stopped buying/sleeping on beds... That would be like a creature comfort thing, but, you do think that a lot of people need/want the heated seat controls on the steering wheel... HMMM.

 

I didn't want heated seat controls on the steering wheel. I was refering to the idea of this thread. If adding heated seats was plug and play like the thread refering to "adding radio controls to the steering wheel".

 

I would suggest making a trip out to any auto upholstry shop. They can hook you up with an aftermarket seat element. It's pretty routine work for them and they will probably be your best source of information.
