n the winter months, we typically run through about 30-40 seat heaters a week. This week I ordered 60 and we ran out in 4 days. We had to put together spares to finish the last car today.

That’s the supplier for our heaters

I need to grab some heaters and get them in Meepster.

Heated seats are the best. I can even adjust how hot the high/low actually is for each seat on a computer. WHAT A WORLD WE LIVE IN.

I used to work in a shop installing these. Couldn’t be easier. If you have hog rings, pliers, and shrink wrap, it should take 10 minutes.

I’m thankful that my grandpa got the Legacy with heated seats and mirrors. If only it had a heated steering wheel...

How much does it cost to do something like this in the aftermarket? Also, can this be done with cloth seats, or do they have to be leather?

Heated steering wheels are the cat’s meow.

Although on our Durango’s I can see the wavy lines under the leather of the heating element and it bothers my anal.... attention to detail.

Never understood this, never use them, swapped from seats that had them to semi-buckets that don’t and don’t miss them :D It just feels like too much/too odd without the air also being hot to me.

my sister has heated cloth seats in her HRV but that was done from the factory

Between 3-500 depending on the shop. At the shop where I work, it’s about an hour process.

I felt the same way until I sat on a heated seat in my wife’s VW after tweaking my back. Then it was heaven.

The boss likes to keep a lot in stock because they’re a high profit item. If she needs to do a dealer a favor, he can add free heat without losing a lot of money.

I bought a cheap ebay one. I have no idea if it’s going to be terrible. it seems like something that would be hard to fuck up in production. Whether or not I can install it, remains to be seen.

Let me know when the technology advances, where I can have the same thing but cooled, I could totally use that mod in my convertible.

interesting - didn’t realize shops had an aftermarket option. The wife loves hers, I’m not really a fan, I’m sweaty enough already...

Aftermarket A/C seats are a thing. The company I work for tried them but they were overly complex and broke half the time. Also the aftermarket ones tended to leave a hard plastic box either between your knees (not so bad) or under your right thigh (no thanks)

The ones we use at work are pretty simple: some wires, 2 pads, a 3-way rocker switch, a fuse and a relay. We had a batch at the end of 2014 that had a bunch of bad relays that would melt and shut everything down but you’re right. They’re too simple to mess up in production.

Until you have to drive somewhere after tweaking your back. I told someone else this. It was glorious. Before then I would only turn them on to mess with people in my old Volvos

I’m the exact opposite. I hate heated air—especially around my face—but this kind of thing feels perfect.
