How easy was it to install the heating pads ?
I guess you had to remove the seat material.
How did you connect the wiring to them and power it up ?
Where did you place the control buttons ?

The pads were fairly easy to install. You have to remove some hog ring clips to install them on both the bottom and back rest.
I removed the seat fro the car
On the bottom of the seat, in the front , is a clip that holds the seat cover on. There is also a clip that holds the seat cover on down the sides.
I removed the front clip and the clip down one side.This Gives you enough room to shove the heater into place.
On the back rest you remove the plastic cover/ net. this gives you access to the seat cover clips. You only need to remove the bottom row. The passenger seat had hog rings and the drivers side was a plastic clip. After its removed you can pull the seat cover through to the front of the seat to give you access. Half way up the seat is a seam that has 3 hog rings that have to be removed to give you room for the pad.
I watched this you tube video with basically gives you an idea how to do this




I wired it in under the floor console and ran my wireing harness under the console. The switches I mounted at the bottom of the water fall. I will add a pic later.
For a cheap universal kit that work really good. They get very warm.

I will get some pics later. I went over the air bag sensor. Don brew gave me the info to use fuse #23 under the hood. I hooked it up under the floor console fuse panel for now. This kit gives you power wire, ground, relay switch wire, and illumination wire for the switches. Right now I have everything wired on a fuse that energizes when the car is started. My plan is to wire the relay switch to come on with the remote start so I can have them heat up while the car is warming up.

Here was the best place i could find to put the heater switches. Any place that looked like a good spot on the waterfall had a mounting point behind it or an obstruction
