nothing too special... i just installed some seat heater elements today. i bought the kit off ebay for $75. took a little while to disasseble the seats to put the heat pads in.. but the install was very easy otherwise. the wire harness comes complete and all that's needed is to wire the + wire to your Accessory wire, and the - wire to the ground.
although it takes a few minutes to heat up, and it only activates when there's pressure being applied on the bottom pad (ie. with your bum)... but it has two settings for low heat (green light) and high heat (red light). and it's pretty kewl as the button fits perfectly where the jdm rear foglight switch normally goes.. just had to drill a hole right through it so, now i won't have to sit on a frozen leather chair this winter... but sadly.. my passengers will.             UPDATE: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- I would not suggest having the wires come out of here, like i did in this pic: since you're restricted in how far you can slide your seat back. i didn't think i'd have to slide back all the way so i just left them the way they were. then one day, i slid the seat back and i ran over the connectors.. so i relocated the wires to come out from under the carpet and out from below the chair...

I am doing BOTH seats, and am looking for good buttons.. I don't think i will want the glare of the LEDs, but am looking for an oem style hi/lo switch...
BTW, Davey, not sure the 6th gen vert has seat heaters?!  -Collin -------------------- Past: V6 Swapped 6G Celica, E46 BMW M3, Jeep Wrangler TJ

Certainly they were both the UK and Japan 6th gen vert models (although IIRC the UK only had heaters when leather seats were spec'd). Also, the JDM GT hatchback (non-vert) had heated seat bottoms but not the switches (I assume the heaters eiter came on with the rear screen heater or when the cabin temperature fell below a preset level).  -------------------- Davey

MORE INFO! -- part numbers needed! Sorry folks I'm afraid reality is bit different  . I believe heated seats in CVT don't has any special switch. That heating process is started with "rear window defogger button" (that one beside A/C button, see blue arrows below)... same with side mirrors heating/defogging. Those three buttons are for roof (slide) and for side windows... see picture (it's USDM CVT)  ..and this is from JDM hatch.  same buttons, same numbers... switch sliding roof: 84860-20030 (A) switch power window: 84810-20230 (no.2) 84810-20240 (no.3) However any one with USDM CVT should confirm that or make detailed pics. -------------------- No more replicas... This is evolution... This is SS-four :)
