installed heated seats Options

[azian_advanced]

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...

dont mean to be smart, but you were saying about switches...

imo.. if its just you, and you have both seats through one switch, only your side would hea tup since they are weight sensitive

and if you have a passenger then both would turn on right? so you could eliminate alot of clutter and keep it clean running it through one switch & rely on the weight sensor to turn on the pass side or keep it off

just a thought hope it help !
