Pre-Wired For Heated Seats

I'm willing to bet the seats are all prewired. Mine has them and I LOVE them by the way. First vehicle with them and I use them all the damn time.

 

You got a link to the heating elements and switch’s? I’m looking to do the same. Those clazzios get cold in the morning

Sub"d to see if anyone has checked out a 2011 yet

 

Awesome thanks. Adding to the wishlist. One question though after looking at it. It says it has one switch for both seats but it looks like you have separate switches. Did you buy an extra and set them up individually?

 

Nope it came with 2

 

I have been wanting to do heated seats, this will make it so much easier.

 

Interesting. In for more info!

 

Sounds good. Thanks for the info

 

Have you made any progress?

 

Out of curiosity, I looked up the prices for OEM seat heaters and switches. It's over $1,000 for just the 4 seat heaters and 2 switches. I'm sure there's controllers to buy also. Although it would be cool to just buy the components and plug them in, it's not cost effective to do it that way. There are seat heaters on ebay with switches that snap right into the existing switch blank holes, for under $100.

 

I found the relay socket in the box under the hood, but didn't test to see if it was wired.....mostly because I didn't have the wiring (end) in the dash behind the blanks, so I assumed I wasn't pre-wired in any way. It would have been nice though!

I’m pretty sure there have been threads on this in the past and no one made any of the OEM stuff successfully work, either cause OEM parts to do it were a waste of money or also because of the way it is wired none of the aftermarket stuff plays nice with it without giving yourself a headache.

At least that’s what has been brought up every single time someone posts a thread asking what the wiring harness behind those lower HVAC switches are for.

 

Well I checked the location for the oem relay for heated seats in my 2015 4x4 TRD Sport DCLB, there are no wires or terminals leading to the relay location. In the OP's pic you can see it has terminals.... mine, not so much....
