Default Heated Seats !!!!!

I know l saw an ad for heated seats for a C5 and it was really cheap.

Anybody out there do it yet and if they did how hard was it to do?

I used this kit. It comes with good instructions and you can get a pigtail to hook up the wiring.

http://www.seatheater-heatedseats.com/

I fitted the pads using the Vette Essentials guide to remove the seats. I just slid the elements under the covers rather than strip the seats down all the way.

I took out the inner door and fitted the switches in the ashtray behind the outer door.





I then tapped into the spare fuse slot in the passanger footwell #22 for power.

Not hard but took a while as the seats have to come out

It was great to have the heaters even in Vegas. I love the mod and would recommend it.

Here's another place to get them. http://www.pfyc.com/store/merchant.m...ory_Code=VTINT

They have a couple of different ones on the site. If I drove the car in the winter I would get these for sure.

These are a must have item, especially for a vert. These guys above have some great write ups. I used the ashtray door to mount my switches. Make sure you leave yourself plenty of room in the rear of the ashtray for wiring if you choose to use it. I also used empty slot #22 for both seats.
