Can heated seats be put into a car not originally equiped with them? I realize that switches are needed but is the wiring in place already in the dash? And do the seats plug right into the existing connector? My car is a '99 with full power and memory seats now, thanks!

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 don't know if OEM Pcar seats can be retrofit, but I know that there are aftermarket packages that can be installed. Before I bought my Targa, I was looking at some older cars and did a little research to see if there were any aftermarket seat heaters that could be installed in an 80s or 90s vintage auto. Remember -- Google is your friend...try a Google search for "aftermarket auto seat heaters". You'd be amazed at what shows up.
Here is the best instructions for doing an OEM install. http://dennisvogel.com/heatedseats/index.html

Perfect, thanks! I'll take a look as I just picked up a set and was wondering if I could get the heaters to work!
