Heated Seat Install - The ultimate mod!
#12
I installed my heated seats a couple weekends ago, and it'll definitely take you most of a day to do, especially if you're doing it yourself. I followed a couple threads here on s2ki, and it was pretty straightforward. I would say everything all in all is pretty easy from a difficulty standpoint, it just takes time taking everything apart and putting it back together. It's just a very tedious install. If you're pretty handy, I'd say installing heating pads in our cars are pretty easy. Unfortunately I don't have a whole lot of free time to help others with their install, but I'd be more than happy to answer any questions people have.
I opted to wire my heated seats via a 12V relay, with the switched power coming off of the cigarette lighter, and the powered +12v coming from a 4 gauge - 8 gauge distribution block I have mounted behind the passenger seat panel. That way I don't have to worry about blowing the fuse for the cigarette lighter (my old tire inflator popped a fuse a few weeks ago, perhaps it's on its last legs though). I really love the heated seats.. definitely something every convertible should have.
