Heated seats?

[Pete]

Iam sure someone has done this before, If so how did you hook up the wiring? what seats did you use? thanks

There are so many different ways of doing this. Whole seat swaps, putting heaters (junkyard or aftermarket) in your existing seats (or replacement seats), even aftermarket slip on heated seat covers. Each has there own wiring needs. Any of the aftermarket will have instructions on wiring. Factory heaters can go from a simple switch all the way up to computer controlled. If you go this route look for a vehicle with a separate seat heater switch and get that as well.

Personally I found something out of a junkyard that had a simple Hi-Off-Low switch. Pulled the elements out and put them into my existing seats. Looked up the factory wiring for the donor and copied it. I got another one once and found the switch went to a computer and that ran the heaters, gave up on that one, too much complexity.

try to get something that has separate lumbar and butt heater control. that way if your back is sore you can get some relief without cooking the jewels

This is another universal kit to consider:



It can be cut for length, but NOT width. Less length will reduce its power consumption, as will cutting out a slot like I did. Follow the links in the caption for more info.

My wife just got a 2013 Ford Fiesta with heated seats, they are awesome and when she is not looking I'm going to swap her.
