    i only know of one vx with heated seats, the owner of which is a member on this board.. and it was a very long involved install, you should email the seller about it and ask for photos of the switch for the seats or something (the vx also came stock with a 6 cd changer.. you should ask if thats a typo, or if theres an aftermarket changer in there)

    my 2000 came w/ heated seats and 6 disk changer... which has been a pain in the *****; when I was doing a lot of 4 wheeling.

    Pretty sure no VX ever came factory equipped with heated seats....and that one on ebay does not make any mention of them. Could be someone mistook the heated mirror switch on the console for a seat heater switch?

    Maybe the 6 disc CD changer has a disc in it that won't eject, making it a 5 disc CD changer

    It may be that the Japanese spec VXs came with heated seats as standard and the person has transplanted them...

    **rushes off to find out - somehow**

    Re: Heated seats: Can you show us some pics? Does it look OEM or was this an aftermarket add-on?

    JDM seats are fabric, and AFIAK the US never got factory heated seats. The Recaro seat in the VX is common to several other vehicles and is available aftermarket as well. Seat and lumbar heating, lumbar adjustment and ventilation are options offered by Recaro for the seat model.

    The Axiom has similar seats to the VX and bi-level heating is a factory option, so that would be a simple upgrade to the VX for those in chillier climes or plagued by poor tushie circulation.

    Rostra makes an aftermarket seat heater kit that is basically OEM components sold as a consumer installed kit. The biggest issue in installing it yourself is removing and replacing the seat covers, which can be a real challenge if you're not familiar with automotive upholstery. Most upholstery shops will install these for you or assist with the covers for a nominal fee.
