I've slowly been working on installing seat heaters into my car. I decided to do the wiring first and really wasn't liking where the factory switch was placed. So I decided to try to move it and thought I would share the results.


Side question for those who have heated seats, the harness that connects to the heater switch has an L-shaped connector on it which looks like it's for a cigarette lighter. Anyone know what it's for?

Very nice. Are you going to do a full write up on installing butt warmers in your car?

I cut a plate out of ABS to frame the new switch and attached it to the original panel. I still have the prototype if anyone wants it.

I may do a writeup, depends on how much time I have(which at the moment is not much).

so this is an aftermarket heated seats that you installed on your OEM recaro seats but utilizing the OEM heated switch?

if so i am sure there would be people asking how you did the heated seats me included.

That is the plan, yes. It SHOULD be relatively simple, since MOST of the wiring is already in the car. I expect the most difficult part will be the actual disassembly of the seats.
