Install heated seats 3rd Gen

How about an Arduino relay, might be simpler than a Pi? I thought about doing that but it seemed overkill, although getting a delay and temp conditional activation might be a worthy quick project.

That is a good question above, maybe with the 2021 dual climate there is something in the wire harness to tap into.

 

Can you PM me a that wiring diagram? Just curious how it all goes together incase I need to trouble shoot it the future.

 

Did I miss it in the thread or did you have a link to where you found the seat heater switches? Looks really clean and something I hope to tackle in the future.

 

These are the ones I got and others used in the thread.

Ok, thanks! I failed to see they were part of the larger kit.

 

Looks Great! I just picked up this kit and will be installing it very soon. Did you wire your switches in a specific way to dim illumination with the other switches with the lights on? I've seen other after market switches are way brighter than the stock switches, but it appears to be uniform in your night picture. Thanks!

 

Wired the seat heater switch so that it dims with factory switches. Tied into the dash light wiring for the cargo switch

 

Thanks! So the illumination wire from the heated seat switch tapped to the illumination wire of cargo switch (or another OEM switch). Did you do anything special with the ground wire? or just grounded to the body?

 

Ground to body

 

How are the kits from wukexue2010 seller holding up? Switches still good? Wires not burning? Trying to find OEM looking kit that I won't have to redo in short order, which would suck.

Also to confirm - the LO/HI settings activate both heaters (butt & back) and adjust heat power, correct? Apparently there are kits where the switch basically controls two modes: back only, or butt+back.

 

Also curios if anyone has experience with this dual dial switch kit.

It is attractive as it would require only one switch blank.

 

Thank you so much for the write up! Without having all of the options I want from the dealer (without getting super fancy packages) this mod is a game changer!

 

I installed this kit under my Clazzios for almot 3 years and works great, no issues. The lights do dim when dimming the the dash, also high and low ketts both back and butt warm but at higher or lower heat. Hope this helps.

 

I definitely need these my ass is cold

 

Do any of you know if the switches for the 4Runner will work with the clazzio kit? I prefer those switches to the Hi-Lo button ones. I’ve been shopping around and not sure if ordering the OEM parts to aftermarket and really just clueless. I would really like the option of leaving the switch on whenever I remote start my truck in the AM and warms up.

I’m not an expert on any of this. I can do oil changes and spark plug changes lol but nothing electrical at all. Hoping the easiest pnp option. Halp.

 

Thank you for this write-up! I successfully followed along with little to no electrical experience lol
