Heated seats and seat covers

Just got finished installing my heated seats and Clazzio Seat Covers. I took apart the included wiring harnesses and ran the relays and fuses to an auxiliary fuse box. Drilled a hole in the firewall and used a daystar firewall grommet. I cut out the old switch panel in the dash and replaced it with the MESO 7 switch panel and replaced the 12v outlet with a blue sea usb charger.

**************UPDATE****************

Here’s a list of the major materials I used for the install. not including the wire loom, zip tires , waterproof connector and misc wire connectors.

Looks sharp man!

 

Did you pull up the cloth covers to place the heating elements or lay them on top of the cloth?

 

Good addition. I did the back seats with the original covers. That was a major pain in the butt. Took pictures if anyone is crazy enough to want to see how it goes. Probably easier to just buy seat covers.

 

Looks awesome! Heated seats is on my list for sure.

 

I layed them on top of the original cloth

 

Those Clazzios look great!

Are the heated pads from Clazzio with those type of switches? Those are the ones I want to use when I get a set...

 

The heated pads are not the ones from clazzio. I sourced these from Amazon

Ok thanks for the info. I've seen these popping up on the forum lately & was starting to wonder if Clazzio had gone to these switches now

 

Did you cut out the switch panel in place or take apart the dash to pull the panel out? If in place, how difficult was it?

 

I took the whole dash apart. I used a dermal with a rotozip bit. It would have made a mess. Plus you need to glue it in place so I don’t think you would be able do that with it still in. It wasent to bad. Taking the dash apart takes the longest. I glued it in with black hot glue. It hardens up tough

 

I forgot to add pictures of the fuse box

 

Nice work for sure. Where did you get the fuse box assy from ?

It comes with all the pins you just have to pin it out yourself

 

Thanks

 

Updated first post with all major materials I used

 

Thanks for that part list. Definitely gonna start stock piling parts for the Clazzio's now!

 

did you move the rear window open/close switch down there?

 

On the 2018 DCSB it’s already down there from the factory

 

You can buy the heated seats from Costco and the price includes professional installation. $449.99
