Heated seats are a must but I don't want them to keep me from getting the perfect vehicle if it doesn't have them. It seems retrofitting them in is easy and pretty cheap. My question is can I make it so that they hook up to what would have been the heated seat buttons in a car that didn't come with them? It appears that most of the buttons for most options are present in the car even if the option isn't there, they just aren't labelled or functional. Thanks
You will have to get the heating elements and the correct wiring harness and, of course, the buttons themselves. The buttons are the easy part. Do a search on "heated seats" and you will find a thread that some one posted about a year ago about adding heat to their seats.
Aye, not too worried about the seats themselves. Apparently several local places do a good job at that. It's the wiring it into the stock buttons in the correct place on the dashboard that I was concerned about. I don't want some hokey buttons in some weird place.
You will just need to get a new batwing with the holes for the switches and two switches as follows. I don;t know the MY of you car so here are the numbers For '99 - '01: 996 613 153 00 A05 Gloss black seat heater Left 996 613 154 00 A05 Gloss black seat heater Right For '02 - '04: 996 613 153 10 A05 Black matt seat heater Left 996 613 154 10 A05 Black matt seat heater Right
