Check out the OEM Evo X parts I just ordered for my 09 Lancer GTS

Not really sure why I bought all this stuff. I guess its wishful thinking, lol... like somehow having the AWC switch in the center console will make me feel better when driving this winter At least I may be able to make use of the heated seats switches, will have to hook them up to an aftermarket heated seats kit... at least it will look clean and stock with the switches.

I guess the heated seats switch fits in there too.

I had been looking for the OEM heated seats switches for a while. Couldnt find them anywhere. Its only an option for the canadian lancers and a few of the international models. So when I found the switches, I said what the hell and bought the AWC switch bezel as well with that switch and some blanks. I'm going to attempt to put the heated seats switches in their stock position but it may be easier to put them just below the shifter like in that pic above.

Anyways.. Here is a picture of both "blank" areas that I would be filling in. Area just underneath the arm rest is for the heated seats as you can see in a couple of the other pics below.









Oh and I found this picture online... in a review of the australian evo x model. Does anyone know what that switch in the middle is for? Is that like for the intercooler spray system?

Good luck on the heated seats kit. The switch plate below the shifter is a cool idea for future switches, but the traction control switch you bought is definitley a waste of money. That will definitley look stupid in a vehicle that doesn't even have traction control!

Yea it was definitely a spur of the moment thing. I will definitely be doing the stock heated seats and switches. The traction control switch might still be of use to me. I may be able to paint over it and use it as just a stock looking switch for something else. I could always put it on ebay or somethign too

Let me know if you find a place that does heated seats for cheap. Quotes I received are $550 and up.

Leather interior is about $1000 and up.

Naw, bezel was like 10, banks were 5 each, the traction control switch was like 30 and the heated seats switches come as one unit and those were like 60

so about 100 all in all

Those look cool Mike I like your idea of using them in the future for other things you may add to your car.

Yea, I figure even if I don't use the switches as they are intended, they will still look 100% stock. And I could probably remove whatever is written on them with a basic household scrub.

I am calling around Boston this week trying to find someone who can install the heated seats for me and wire then up to the stock switches for a reasonable amount 300-500$
