Heated Seats, anyone done it?

I searched the forum but couldn't find anyone who had actually had them installed.

Oddly enough I'm under budget on everything I am doing to my VX so I have some extra cash and would love these.

Any suggestions? Anyone had them installed or done it themselves?

I second the motion. I'd love to hear from anyone who's done this mod.

I'm giving up a cushy FX35 for this VX, and I'm gonna MISS the cushy heated seats!

I just sent a lengthy email to their sales department, asking for specifics regarding their kits + our VXs.

I promised them that if they had good news, I'd get them a lot of sales from vehicross.info!

Regardless, I'll let everyone know what they tell me...

looks like a pretty decent product, however if I am gonna mod my seat where I live it will be for cooling.

I sent an email to them earlier asking for details on the differences between all their products. I'll post it when I get the response.

$80-100/seat and a possible self install could make this a really affordable upgrade...

I got impatient and called...

The cheapest model, H1 was the original version they came out with. The H2 is newer and heats up in about 1/2 the time. The H3 is identical to the H2 except it is not as wide. You can trim the length of the pad but you cannot trim the width. I spoke with the Tech Support guy and he said for the Recaro Trend seats the H3 is probably best because of the width.

I also asked which is better, the Innovative Heat or the H series. I was told the Innovative Heat series is a little more budget minded and not as durable.

Might have to try these out... the problem is that I cannot find much competition in this market so it is tough to really gauge who is better. Searching for 'heated seats' or 'seat heaters' results in about 5-6 different web pages which all sell the same products....

This place ships from California, Washington, or Vancouver depending on inventory in each warehouse.
