I had a look on Grumpy ******** 'R' Us aka the LOC but found nothing, and havent seen anything elsewhere on this.

Basically, has anyone converted their rear seats to be heated? Would it just be a case of getting a heated seat setup for the front seats and wiring it into the rear seats? Can anyone tell me what's involved etc

Im a complete novice when it comes to electrics/wiring but I do have a friend who's pretty handy with this kinda thing, so Im sure if I can get some kinda plans/a rough guide between us we could get it done Smile

Look forward to any info you lot have

You can buy heated seat pads on their own, then its simply a case of stripping the seat covers off( i say simply, its not the easiest of jobs) and fitting them. The wiring on them is very straightforward, you will just need to find a nice place to put the switches

Very quick responses as usual, thanks guys! Smile

Jay, do you have any pics from when you fitted them? or a rough wiring diagram or anything?

Tbh I'd probably end up doing it when I get the interior re-trimmed anyways, but if Im confident me and a friend can do it before then, I'll definitely have a stab at it.

One other question, would the extra heated seats cause any extra load on the battery?

thanks!

If the car is running, I imagine the extra draw to be negligible.

I've converted my recaro-a-like seats in the MR2 to be heated. I used a Waeco kit I got from eBay. In fact I think I documented it on here!
