Heated Front Seats How-To Post

I'll be providing a pictured how-to on front driver and passenger heated seat installation here in about 1 week if there's interest in it.

New girlfriend's from the South and I need to protect her sweet a$$ from Minneapolis Winter Car Seat Syndrome.

Here the product that I purchased (I bought two) from flea-Bay...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Seat-...QQcmdZViewItem

Cheers guys and gals. Again, let me know if there's interest...

Hell yeah there is interest! That is one of the perks I had in my old Cadillac that I really miss up here in Ohio, so hell yeah post a how-to. That is a great price, too... just wondering if those elements are reliable.

hehehe that's funny, some cars here have ventilated cooling seats

But I can imagine this would be very useful in cold climates!!!

All I did with my truck was hard wire a set of $30 heated seat cushions duct taped to the seats, and put cheap seat covers over top. total cost was $50

Hoping this mod will look nice and clean when I'm done.

GF is refusing to ride in the Yaris now because of the lack of this feature so I'll be getting on this mod as soon as the kits come in. Hopefully they arive in the mail on Friday so I can install this weekend. Later.

Issues with the Ebay transaction. Hopefully it will get resolved today and I'll have the kit by next week for a install next weekend.

No, not exactly, but the day she got a massage, she needed her Honda Pilot's seat warmers.

It was zero degree's last night in Minneapolis, seat warmers will help alievate the shock of stepping into a cold car.

Just aiming to please, it'll be a mutually benifical mod...

Kits should come this week and I'll work on the install this Saturday...

Cant wait to see the DIY (really what its gonna look like finished) as I've been thinking of doing this since I got to drive around my Uncle's Monte Carlo SS for a couple weeks while watching his house...
