Just installed heated seats

Empire Audio in North Olmsted, Ohio, just installed heated seats in my car for $300. It includes two heating elements (lower back and seat cushion) for each of the seats. They removed the fabric to install, then re-upholstered them. Other than the extra switches mounted in the center console, you can't even tell that the seats have been disassembled.

The seats warm up very quickly, and the whole installation looks totally pro. I highly recommend these to the northerners.

^ Did you read his first post.

Sounds cool. Thankfully, it doesn't get cold enough to need heated seats here.

Please post pics of the set-up, as far as where the buttons are located

They do have A/C seats with optional massage function. The cold air is drawn from the A/C ducts, and there are six little motors vibrating the cushion.
