Heated Seats in VX

[Joe_Black]

What kind of seats did the Trooper Limited come with?

Just regular Trooper seats in leather, so you'd have to really take a good look at them if thinking of using in the VX. Trooper seats have a few inches of lift as opposed to our seats which pretty much sit on the floor. If Tad is looking at this thread he may be able to shed a little more light on this. Even though I've had a number of Troopers the seats were rarely out and I just don't recall much about their frames.

So I've had heated seats now for 4 weeks and it was the best investment next to the lift that I've done to the VX.

After 2 weeks of debating between buying Isuzu heated seat buttons or installing the oem Rostra buttons I decided on placing the oem Rostra buttons in front of the e-brake. It's perfect placement and looks like it's stock (see picture below). The only downside is that the oem Rostra buttons do not light up. You will receive a Green or Orange light depending on if you have them flipped to High or Low, but the white outline of the seat on the button does not illuminate.

It's an easy install but very time consuming.
