So now the fun begins, lucky for me they turned out to be HEATED, I was very excited about that, so I did some research and found this great write up on wiring heated seats in non prewired cars.

Thanks to a board member named Don I found the perfect set, he had purchaed the seats for his car but never installed them before selling it.
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

In 2000 I purchaed my 99 Cab with Savannah Beige interior and since then I've been looking for the perfect set of heated beige sport seats. Well if I had black interior that would have been simple but Savannah beige is rare, and beige sports seats is very rare, and heated beige sport seats... .well you all get it
Thanks to a board member named Don I found the perfect set, he had purchaed the seats for his car but never installed them before selling it. The seats were purchased from a Porsche swap meet, the owner of the seats mentioned that they were heated but Don wasn't 100% sure as he couldn't verify that. So I rolled the dice and sent him the money, a week later they arrived and ready for their makeover.
Pics of the beige backs with coat hanger holes and cutouts for the leather pouch in the back.
I removed the backs and sent them to my bodyshop for painting. I wanted the coat hanger hole filled in and all of the holes for the bottom pouch. This is what they looked like after..
So now the fun begins, lucky for me they turned out to be HEATED, I was very excited about that, so I did some research and found this great write up on wiring heated seats in non prewired cars. Dennis Vogel wrote up a very detailed DIY that I followed to a T, thanks Dennis!

Since the seats were already heated I just needed to do the wiring in the car, I thought this would be simple but it definitely took some time, the hardest part was getting to and pulling out the relay box. Some pics along the way...
All done and installed..

Now I'm officialy done with my mods
It's nice when a long term project finally gets sorted out! I like that you did most of that stuff yourself (other than the paint work). Stringing wire takes a lot of patience.
Very nice, good perserverence on your part. The sport seats look brand new. Your cab now looks very complete. My sav.beige sport seats don't look as fresh as yours, and they aren't heated. Job well done!
You will find that sports seats are a very important ingredient to obtaining nirvana within Porsche ownership. The other 3 are the Cabriolet body (for many), PSE, and larger diameter sway bars.
It looks very nice and complete. Once you've had sports seats, a car without them seems like something is a miss. Are you loving the driving experience much more now?
Thanks guys! Yes I'm enjoying the driving experience immensely.
They are 19" Techarts, not sure of the offsets, I've had them for many years so I don't recall.
Gary, we had a Concours last weekend, so I brought out all of toys, I didn't enter it to be judged as I didn't have the time to pull out the cotton swabs
Kevin -- they look great, especially attractive in that shot from the rear, nice complement to the fiber!
Mk I lookin' good!
Also dig the RS look '69, man you owned that show! Nice work!
