Hi all,
I have recently (december 2006) the heated seat elements I removed from my tatty old cloth interior (October 2005) when I fitted the leather I bought.


There were a few challenges to fitting the elements (like the elements being knackered and the seats having horizontal stitching), but I did it and they work! Hmm toasty bum!

I am willing to write up the process...

...plus it should be simple enough to wire up the elements even when your car is not fitted with them in the factory...

Cloth and leather elements are different dude - watch out!
