installing seat heating elements

I have a 06 with leather seats Has any one installed the heating elements. if so how big of job? And whats the cost? Thank you blackbelt.

 

Installed a pair last month. Purchased from Amazon less than $70/ each. Had these in another vehicle for 2 years no problems. They come with all wiring, relay and switch

I found it easier (and warmer) to remove the seats and work inside. Upholstery is held in place by "hog rings". Easy to remove, but hard to reinstall. (Heater kit comes with the rings and a tool)

I chose to reattach with zip ties. A lot easier.

Kit comes with enough wire to run switches to the dash. I chose to install on the side of the seat

BTW both of my installations are vehicles with cloth seats.

The first seat took me about 4 hours, by the time I got around to the truck, it was 2 hours per seat. (Including removal and reinstalling the seat in the truck)

Suggestion I received was to wire up the heaters before installing, make sure they work


Good luck, heated seats is now a requirement in all my vehicles.

 

could you post up a link of the heaters you used?
