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.

18 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

My 2001 Carrera 4 doesn�t have heated seats. When I put the top down, they could help keep things warm. I�m assuming it�s plug and play? I buy the switches, interconnecting cables, and heaters to go inside the seats? Or, is it a huge chore?

I agree, I have heated seats and like turning them on when it�s chilly with the top down. Along with the heater. You�d be surprised how many times it�s chilly, even in summer.

These suckers get hot fast. A must have if I lived in a cold climate again.

Sure, if you're a sissy. It was 18F this morning when I left for work. Somehow I made it to work without heated seats. Well, at least, functioning heated seats.

Not as bad as I would have expected. Colorful, too.

In fairness to my sissyness, I do drive with the windows down when the top is down. And no windscreen-thingy that goes between the rear seats either.

POST 12Original post

The wife's Grand Cherokee turns on the heated seats and steering wheel any time you start it with an outside temp below 40 degrees. I don't even have to choose to be a sissy...

POST 13Original post

This is truly the only option I want when I buy any car and of course, my car does not have it. I know I've seen another thread about this before and it is possible. I like my heat scolding if I am not burnt it isn't hot enough. I had an e36 M3 and it got so hot it would actually hurt but I don't think that was working correctly LOL

POST 14Original post

This link may help. You can buy the switches and replace the blanks. You Tube

POST 15Original post

I added heated seats over 10 years ago to my Cab. Not exactly plug and play but that bad. Did mine based on this wrieup of doing the in a Boxster. http://dennisvogel.com/heatedseats/index.html A wonderful addition to the car.

Thanks for posting this link. I put an 18-way seat in my car(with a good deal of circuit remapping) and have a heater switch but never hooked up power for the seat heater; mostly because I'm lazy and didn't want to start the wire tracing. With that link as resource now, its on my list for a bunch of things I'll be doing in three weeks -- when have some extra days off.

POST 17Original post

I had a local upholstery shop add aftermarket seat heaters to the front seats in my 996 for $250 per seat. They worked great!

Sorry to revive an old thread - Dennis, which shop was that? I�m in the area and that seems like a decent price.
