    Can you elaborate on how you wire these up? I am interested in doing this myself but I am a newbie to diy wiring jobs.

    Any instructions on TW on how to remove that panel? Did you need to remove the panels to get the buttons in?

    I didn't remove the lower dash but I wish I had. It was a real pain but I was able to fold over the cable and push the "loop" end up and grab it through the switch hole with my finger and pull the plug end out.

    That looks really clean but how do your back seat passengers turn them on and off?

    They are 8 and 11 I do it. So when they leave for school the seats don't stay on and dry the seats out prematurely

    Thanks! I'm pretty good with fishing wires, so I'll give that a shot.

    Bought. Thanks for the research and install notes guys. Found this while looking up info on the wet okole heaters. I'm in that group buy, but like these buttons much more. :thumbsup:

    I totally agree. I don't see an elegant way to permanently mount the WO seat heater controls.

    Does anyone have pictures of cutouts for the airbag sensor in the passenger seat?

    js312, I'm planning in putting in the lower dash panel in my 08 and moving the seat heater switches from the side of the seats to the panel like you did. My question concerns the usb port you have in the 1 powerpoint. DId that come with your truck or did you do the install? I would like to replace my 1 power point with a usb port. I like the factory look you have and would like to do the same.

    Get some low profile mini fuse taps and tap into the fuse panel by your left leg, driver side. I had to use three with my kit, it needed two for 12v and one for illumination. I tapped into the rear window fuse for power since its switched power, and the tail lights for the led. My seats only work in the key to on or truck running, and light up when I turn the headlights on. This is the easiest way and its also completely reversible, I did not tap any wires so nothing was cut; however, I did solder my connections on the fuse taps, I don't like to use the crimp style.

    I'm trying to find some time to do the install of mine. In the meantime I had a couple of questions. I saw some warnings about placing the heater pad on a seat with a occupancy sensor, is that anything you guys have considered in your installs? How about the side airbags in the seat back, anything to be concerned about there?
