Adding Heated seats and Memory
How difficult would it be to add the heated seat and the seat memory option to a 2LT car.
Thanks

It's not really going to be difficult if you know your way around that area of your car........but......excellent "aftermarket" heated seat kits are $600 "installed" on 2 seats where I live......they heat both the back and the base with adjustable temperature settings. Done several kits over the years with absolutely no problems whatsoever.
Don't even think about the price of buying new seat foam inserts (or seat covers with the elements, I don't know how GM does it, but it is going to be one or the other) with the heating elements sewn in, as well as the correct wiring harnesses, sensors and switches, etc.....
And you can forget about seat memory as well.......speaking generally from my 21 years in the car business with 3 different German brands, this kind of stuff you are contemplating (using parts from the manufacturer to retrofit a non-sound system type of option) is normally waaaaay too much money after the fact to justify it.
