Seat Heaters / Heated Seats

[kramttocs]

Not wanting to get into later model seats being swapped in that have heaters integrated but rather the aftermarket kits/pads that can be added to any seat.

Curious if anyone here has installed these and how well they work. I am primarily interested in cloth bucket seats (supercab) but would also be interested on both vinyl and cloth bench seat experiences.

Steve has a photo on them at supermotors.

I had one of these kits installed in the driver's seat of a 2007 Honda Civic my wife had for a while. It worked well while we had the car...which was only 3-4 years. Had a local Autoglass shop install it oddly enough...it was next to where my wife was working at the time. There was nothing special about the kit...I remember looking at the exact one on Amazon at the time.

Good to hear. Most seem to have good reviews on Amazon.

Like anything else I'm sure they have a lifespan. We did actually have a problem with the installation, but it was nothing to do with the seat heater itself. The guy that put it in the seat left the wire kind of loose under the seat and one of them chafed through a bracket and shorted out. I fixed it quickly and that was it.
