Default Heated seat kits

Hi All,

Does anyone have any experience with those after market heated seat kits? Would like to add this to Blazer, but not sure if there is one brand that is better, easier to install etc.

Thanks in advance.


Will

If your looking to add a heated seat kit, I would consult with a interior shop to install them for you cause if you want it under your seat then they would have to take apart the bottom seat to put in the kit and re- upholster the seat afterwards.

Been seaching Ebay, seems they have some good ones there.

There was a guy who did it from another forum on a cloth seat in his old Blazer, a 96 I think? It really isn't that bad doing it yourself from what I remember, the wiring is probably the hardest part. He made sort of a how-to; I will try to find it along with the brand heater he used later.

EDIT: This is the company he went with.

And his description, review, and how-to. He did leather, but they will work with either leather or cloth. He might have used leather seats from a donor Bravada, i'm not sure.

I wanna steal the heating and cooling setup from the Ford Exploders


I'd much rather have cooling seats than heated, lol.

That's what I've been trying to figure out...

I just know it's soooooo nice in the summer!

I actually look forward to driving a Ford in the summer [:'(]
