New seats heated, car not...how-to?

hdrewh · 09-18-2010, 09:45 PM

Finally found ZSP seats to replace my non-sports. They are heated, but my car doesn't have the heated seat option.

Before I ask my dealer, wanted to get some idea here of what's involved and how complicated it might be.

Any input appreciated. Also if anyone knows a good shop in the NY/tri-state area that might be able to do this...

Thanks,
Howard

I'm guessing you would just need the controls under the radio and wire the 12v power to it.

Conceptually, sure, install buttons, connect power. I'm hoping to get a little more detail - new fuses need to be tapped? Seat harness possibly already wired for heated seats? etc.

Thanks.

I think (not completely sure) that everything is pre-wired. You should just need the button panel for the dash.

anyone know if I can order the heated seat dash buttons separately? I went through everything that sounded reasonable on realoem.com but could not find them, nor could I find them included with some other component.

Thanks,
Howard
