any downsides to this besides the genocide of sperm?
with the kit from heatedseatkits.com, it looks like it does not turn off automatically. is that correct?
if so, has anyone accidently left it on? did it drain the battery?
how well has the S2K seat held up to this mod?
any damages or accelerated wear to the seat?
use the ignition connecter for power and all should be good.

I recently got the hardtop and all seasons to make the car liveable in the sometimes harsh NE winter and this will be icing on the cake!! Can't wait.

Then get rid of the all-seasons and pick up some Blizzaks on cheap AP1 rims...

Unless you have a separate beater for snow.

I do have an SUV for the real winter crap. I liked the idea of all-seasons just for the temperature factor and in case I get stuck out when it begins snowing. If there is already snow on the ground, she will stay parked until the roads are cleared.

Looking at that website, now I am thinking of the massagers too

so how bad is the flatulence in s2k when the seat is hot? my friend was also interested in this question because he eats a lot of kimchi and sometimes the smell could be life-threatening.

Oh man!! I never thought about the effect on farts. I take a lot of protein supplements and my gas can be toxic. I will have to invest in a pair of charcoal lined underwear

could these heater pads be fitted in a CF or fiberglass race seat?
That way I can leave them in all the time!?

Does anyone have these on an 06+? Or is it impossible with the airbag sensor in the passenger seat

I would also like to know if anyone has successfully added heat to an 06+ and if there is anything additional I might need to know for a smooth DIY Mod.

Especially interested in a workaround for the passenger airbag sensor on MY 06.

Thanks
