Sorry, this is very simple and you can research on your own. Many people do this with all models of cars.

Edited, you're simply not worth it.

Good luck...

Don't worry about the SA comments. Some think that everyone must do a complete search before you are allowed to ask a question.
Of course you will need to change out your seats for a set with the heating elements, the console cover to allow you to put the switches in (as long as you want it to look factory), and I am not sure if the wiring is there or not. Sometimes a wiring harness has the connections for the different options. If not then you have a lot of work ahead of you with all new wiring.

Here is a post that explains why it can't be done.

Here is a post for an aftermarket kit that looks pretty cool.

Yes, we use to install them all the time , the only difference would be the switch

I put them in my Expedition and installed the switches in the factory position as most kits use a Ford type switch so it looks factory .

I have been playing with the idea of installing them in my coupe but not sure if I will like the rocker type switchs installed by the ashtray .

There's actually a space for the factory heated seat buttons on the vettes that don't have them.All you gotta do is cut it out of the plastic.. I'd put the switch on either side of the console in the rug.Way easier and inconspicuous for the most part.

Yes but the factory switches are momentary contact only , they will not work with the aftermarket seat heaters .....

I have been trying to figure out a way to use them but it was just way to complicated .....

I might just bury them in the carpet ...

Thanks!
