Anybody like their cheap after market heated seats?

I'm looking to add a cheap option for heated seats and just wanted to see if anybody had some positive feedback on something. Obviously I would love to get heated Katskins or something like that but it doesn't seem like the best place to put my money currently!

I guess I just wonder about something that works as expected and doesn't shift around or become a nuisance?

 

Depends on your definition of "cheap." I added aftermarket leather all around with heated front from a local custom shop for less than katskinz and LOVE them. Well worth it in the PNW. Really classes up my pavement princess daily driver.

 

I bought a carbon fiber heating element kit off Amazon for ~$50 six years ago as the wife likes heated seats. I finished just the passenger seat as install was a real PITA with removing the factory seat covers and re-installing them. It continues to work, heats up relatively quickly. The kit I bought is no longer sold on Amazon.

Here's a great install and write-up (although it's on a 2nd gen the 3rd gen is very similar.)

The factory heated seats suck. Only bottom and back heat together. As a man I only enjoyed back heat from my subarus. Don't want bottom heat at all.

 

My kit from Amazon with the Toyota style hi/low switches are doing great since 2018. I have them on the rear seats as well and topped off with a set of Clazzios for the win!

 

Not expensive,but not real cheap either. Some more info here

I’ve had mine from Amazon for several years now with no problems. Looks factory, and now have added a factory looking heated steering wheel to go along with it.


Here’s a cheap kit if you install yourself

I love my Amazon cheapest. I installed them on top of factory seats and put Clazzios on top of the pads. They came with a different style switch but looks fine to me. Two years and loving them.
