Our tC won't be here for a while yet but my wife is interested in the possibility of having heated seats in the car.
Has anyone added aftermarket heaters to the existing seats? If so how are they working out for you? Did you install them yourself?

Thanks

Some dealerships offer this option with the Katzkin seats. You may want to ask around about that.

 

i don't believe i've ever seen a car with non leather have heated seats.

 

I have seen a car with heated seats that were cloth, it was a friend of mine, she had a VW Golf. Seats worked great... I have an '04 325ci (with leather) last Christmas my boyfriend looked into aftermarket seat heaters for me they were $350 to do both seats, lucky me, he works in the
automotive industry and knows lots of people. Anyway, we never did wind up doing the seats, now selling the car really no point to put the money into it. If the inquiring person wants to PM me I will get the name of the company and send it back to them when I come back on Monday.

is there a way to get colder seats? Man, my backside starts to sweat from this Texas heat.

 

there's something i would be interested in. even with the ac, my back always gets a lil damp after long rides.

 

Yeah, the seats, are nice and comfy but do hug around the back a little causing some sweating.. But, I dont know of any seat air conditioning kits out there

 

There must be some A/C kits. The Lexus GS300 (brand new ones) have Heated/AC controlled Seats.

What a coincidence!, I was just checking out aftermarket seat heaters last night and found a site that had them for sale.
And yes!, there is a kit for Seat "air conditioning" in that site too. I have it's bookmarked in my home computer.

I'll post it on this thread as soon as I get home later tonight.

i've already installed the OEM leather seats, can you still install heated seats (like a kit or something) without ditching the seats all together?

 

Well, there are no OEM leather seats from Scion.
If you have leather it was a custom dealer option and you'd have to contact them for more info on that.

I have Hi/low heated seats. works well. I like where they placed the switches... Down gives a red led for hi, up on the button makes it a green led for low setting. Very nice.

 

Dang, I want a seat cooler big time! My back always gets all sweaty,
even with the A/C...the weak A/C I wonder how good they work?

Doesn't Creative Compact have that as an option with their Katzkin Leather Seats?

I have heated seats in my tC with the stock cloth, buttons are in the same location as the pics above.

They work great and feel hotter than my Dad's BMW 545 seats.
