These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

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

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Alright anyone that's wanted heated seats in their Boxster might want to follow my latest project... new videos will be added to the playlist as I tackle this over the next week or so: https://youtu.be/M60earBPZAw

POST 2Original post

I have not viewed the video......but will this set up heat aftermarket Recaros?

Looking forward to your approach. I am planing on updating some seat parts to cocoa, so I will try to go as OEM as possible.

Just finished installing and testing it yesterday. It works! Part 4 video is also up already 😉

POST 6Original post

TTG not to side track your videos ( nice job ) but I think I saw you yesterday . Were you in your Boxster around 10:30 AM at the traffic light in front of the Cracker Barrel restaurant ? I was delivering my mother in law to her daughters house just around the corner from that light . I am 99 % sure it was you

It’s finished! You can check out the series.

POST 14Original post

I have circuit boards all done & ready if anyone wants a set for these. Have 2 versions. 1 where you solder your own relays and another where you just plug them in. Set of 2 & will come with boxes to put them in. I can also provide the wire from the fuse panel to each seat with the correct end on it to mount right into the fuse box. I have enough boards for at least 20 sets right now. Can be used with aftermarket set heats or factory seats using the factory seat heater switches.
