I've heard several people saying you can heat the leather seats, and the only factory heated options I've ever seen are in leather.

My question is, Can cloth seats be heated too? Seems like they wouldn't be a hazzard since leather seats have the same fabric filling as the cloth ones.

Thanks for your help.

ahhh... that's the definition of funkyfresh.... j/k lol

I wonder if that is a dealer installed fart?

lol i know huh? but in all honesty, im not sure if you can heat up cloth seats, but you never know, but ive never seen heated cloth seats...but im sure someone on this forum would know...

the only reason i can see to heat seats would be if they were leather. u know cold on the ass when you get in.. so cloth... i see no point.

what would i know, i live in australia - it never rains, always hot.

A friend of mine has an accord with cloth and heated seats, so it does exist..

My dad's 98 Beetle has them too. What's nice is you can have four different heat settings, the aftermarket kit that I've seen available up here only has an on or off switch.

The heated seats in my Jetta had the 4 different settings as well. But from 0 to 5 (5 being the hottest) you couldnt feel shit (many complained about this as well) so it was either on or off.

ok, where can i find an aftermarket heated seat element? and how hard is it to install?

 

[bluntman]

It doesn't seem too hard, when I called the place that installs the heating elements the salesperson explained that they'd remove the seats from the car, remove the leather covering, install the heating elements and reinstall the covering and the seats, connect the electricals and find a place to mount the switch. He said it would take them less than half a day to do both front seats.

I wonder if I should get the rear ones done to...

Yes, you can heat cloth seats. My mom has it in her 2003 Golf.

Black7, I was quoted $550 plus taxes for a pair and $299 (I think) for a single.

 

[oskicat]

well on that other post about heated seats, someone was quoted at $250 per seat. Any details on the installation? multi-level heat or just on/off? where are the controls mounted?

thanks - that doesn't sound too unreasonable.
