seat heaters

Is there such a thing as seat heaters for a tocoma ?

While not specifically designed for the Tacoma, search for "car seat heater" on Amazon.com and you'll find at least a dozen or so workable options (heated cushions, pillows, kits, seat covers, etc). Many options available on eBay as well.

 

Got a quick question on these.

I have Clazzio seat covers on my Tacoma. Do you think it would be okay to place these between the original seat cover material and my Clazzio seat covers? I can probably guarantee that I wouldn't feel the heat through the original seat material and my Clazzio covers. Just wondering if that would be an option that would work?

 

I think you can order wet okole a with heaters in them

 

When u stick the heater onto ur factory cloth you'll prob damage it. That said, I bet you could stick the heater "upside down" to the clazzio cover and it will work great.

Warm seats in the winter, best money spent yet.

In this thread I made some notes and photos when I did my heater mats.

I bought the wet okole seat covers with the heaters they work nice.

 

tacoma steve,


This probably goes without saying but the heaters are just sitting on your factory seat material, correct?

 

Yes you can. I have that option and it is very nice on cold mornings.

 

you can buy the heat kit from John, they are nice carbon mats with all the hardware, proper relays and fuses.

it is a generic type kit but they work great and dont need much trimming.

 

If I remember right they are in the layers of the seat cover. So I think there may be a layer of fabric between the heater and the seat but not positive.

 

X2 on the heaters from John, I installed them in my truck. Cant beat heated seats in the winter

That's the way I did mine and it's been great for the last two years. I bought these:

The carbon fiber pads are very big and an easy install. Heated seats for < $100 = WIN!

 

i ordered off ebay less than $100 dont remember the company but i have had them over a year and use every day in the winter. with no prob. it wasn't to difficult to install instructions were worthless but i youtubed it to figure it out id definetly do it again

 

You can get aftermarket kits that work pretty well. Installed them into a caravan i had and worked great.

 

Like Gusher, I ordered my carbon fiber seat heaters off eBay. Cost <$100 delivered for both front seats. I ran the power and ground wires to the fuse box under the dash behind the coin tray. I used a fuse doubler for the power which I took off the right rear window circuit which is obviously switched off by the ignition. The following is a picture of the heater seat switches for driver's and passenger seats. These were simply pressed into the 5/8" hole I bored through the plastic console. I'm glad they look okay as my wife tends to have opinions about my projects.

 

Looks great man. I like where you located your switches a lot...out of the way and looks factory. Nice job. I'm sure you're appreciating them with the weather we've been having!

 

what did you end up doing? i have my clazzio's on order and am thinking about doing the same thing. any issues with placing the carbon fiber heating elements directly on the cloth seats, or did you add a protective layer, or turn the element upside down as someone suggested?

 

I put mine right on the seat fabric and then installed my Clazzios and have had no problems. Mine have been that way for more than two years now and I couldn't be happier.

 

and when you remove them, you're prob going to damage the stock fabric.
if you're going to slap heaters onto couch covers, i mean clazzios, then just affix the heater 'upside down' to the cover itself.
