2010 DC/LB Leather/heated

The heated leather seats are working great. I use the heat option all the time when it cold out.

If you have the disposable income, I would highly reccomend this mod. CSI (Charlotte Sunroofs Inc) did great work for me.

 

Nice

 

Wish I had the funds for this. I really liked the leather with heat in my GMC.

One thing you might want to include in your installs is a master switch to isolate power in warm weather. It sucks to bump the switch when it's a hot day. I can see that happening with the switch location.

 

Naaa....

2 months after install and no bumps, no hits no runs.. so far with switch location on center console. The switches are really not that easily turned on by just a bump. Ergonomically speaking this location is perfect for me. Not saying that an accidental turn on could not happen, but highly unlikely..., I would not reccomend a second electrical connection between final power and switches. (KISS principle applies) If I had to do the install again, I would put the switches in the same place and no where else.

The power to the heated seat shuts off when the truck key is turned off. So no drained battery issues.

Katzkins with heat.......love'em. on the short list of my top 5 favorite mods. Hope this helps.

 

Good to hear it isn't an issue.

 

Thanks David! I went by CSI today and talked to Kerry. I'm dropping my truck off on Monday for Katzkin factory-match grey body with black centers, arm rests, and stitching. They are also installing an Inalfa in-built sunroof. I'm excited!

Edit: I'm getting the heated seats as well, they are on special right now.

 

Great news!

You won't be disappointed. Your gonna love the heated seats.

They do great work and Kerry is really great to deal with. Sunroof!! man I cannot wait to see the final results. wow!!

please post pics after install! Great looking Taco by the way.

 

I felt very comfortable talking to Kerry. He seems very knowledgable, and he loves Toyota's!

Thanks, your Taco looks great too. I will definetly post up some pics next week.

 

David,

Based on your rave review I called and spoke to Kerry and have scheduled the leather heated seats install and I am also going to get the Hollandia 900TVS STR sun roof installed with the rain sensor in my 2010 dual cab TRD Off-Road.

Customer service is a big issue with me when dealing with companies and so far Kerry has been a pleasure to deal with. He responds quickly to my questions and has answers that I can understand. Looking at the pictures of your install shows me that their capabilities are top notch. I told Kerry that I heard of them on here and he said you must be talking about Dave. Word of mouth is the best salesman.

I live real close to Washington DC and there are several top notch installers in this area (according to Kerry) but I am going to take a mini vacation to Charlotte (6.5 hour drive) and get this work done by CSI.

Thanks Dave for your information!

PS - Once I get the work completed (1st week of February) I will take some pictures and post them here.

 

This company was used by another member. Check them out if you plan on installing your self.

Shaggy,

Your welcome for the info, glad I could be of help. I don't think you will be the least bit disappointed with CSI.
Kerry is a good guy and like you said easy to deal with. I would not hesitate to go back to CSI at all. They really know what they are doing and do it right the first time.

Post pics when you have your truck completed by CSI! Gotta see that Pyrite with a sunroof!

Dave

 

The weather delayed my install, I dropped the truck off this afternoon. I'm picking it up Friday (my birthday). Pics will follow.

 

Andy,

Let us know how everything turns out. My install is scheduled for Feb. 3rd

 

Its done!! I'm really happy how it turned out. Kerry is an awesome guy to work with, he is very nice and knows a lot about what his company does. I will definetly recommend Charlotte Sunroof Inc. to my friends and family.

Here is a link to my pics:

Andy,

Glad it worked out. I also agree Kerry Bragg and CSI do great work!

Your truck looks AWESOME great job!, congrats sir!

 

Hey thanks a lot man, I'm glad I found out about them from you.

 

I would like to get the sunroof and leather in my DC, but Charlotte is a long way from home. Any recommendations on installers for both in Northeast Ohio area?

Use the dealer locator and do some research on the shops you find.

I couldn't find a dealer locator on Katzkin's website.

 

Kerry from CSI is from Ohio and may know a place in your area that can do the work for you. Give him a call - nothing to lose.

 

Having my leather seats installed on Monday. Will post pics when done.
