Technical Aftermarket Heated Seats

[karlak]

One of the things preventing us getting a 500 for my Wife was the lack of a Heated Seat option. She really needs heated seats and a Auto gearbox so these two options are a must.

I have found that some companies fit heated seats aftermarket - generally companies that also fit bespoke leather options, so they should know what they are doing when re-trimming etc.


Has anyone had heated seats fitted, and why oh why dont Fiat offer it as a factory option for the UK. They provide "big car" options such as Xenon lights and uprated Speaker systems but why no "leccy" seat

Yeah, i'm beginning to wonder if leather was a good idea now the cold mornings are drawing in. It's freezing!!!! :bang:

Here in the USA, the FIAT dealers sell the (2-stage) heated option that is installed at the dealership, not at the factory. The switches are mounted low in the center console. I can't see why they wouldn't be usable in the Euro version. Probably pretty cheap to ship also. Drop one of them a line. There are over 100 now so they should be in pretty good supply. You have to strip off the seat covers, install, and put the covers back on.

Hope this helps.

Easily done, personally I find the search facility a bit vague when looking for specifics.

I find doing a google search makes it a little easier to tweak search terms and so on
