Maybe a silly question but can heated seats be retro-fitted to my 996 C4S? On a cold day, nothing better than sitting on a warm seat. Thx

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

i asked this in a roundabout way - how easy would it be and approximate cost? RH/GT4
POST 3Original post
Not impossible, but probably not very good VFM. The heater elements would need to be fitted, ideally by a trimmer, a control unit fitted to each seat, switches in the console, and then wired up. My guess would be £400-500's worth of bits, and perhaps 10-12 hours? Maybe £1200-1300+vat?
POST 4Original post
or purchased heated seats and wiring get fitted how much work for that option
POST 5Original post
If you bought some heated seats, then you would only need 2 switches and the trim (about £60 in parts) and about 3-4 hours to swap the seats and wire it up.

I think you'll be lucky to find them Roy. Remember, they would also need to be the full electric memory seats for your car.
