Seat heat

Bebespapa · 01-17-2019, 10:15 AM

Has anyone added rear seat heaters? The only thing I regret about getting this car is lack of rear seat heating. If so, how and with what parts? I know I can get heated cushions, but would refer OEM.

Not sure you can retrofit that unless the buttons are already on your center console.

Don't you also need 4 way a/c aswell as I think the controls are on that in the rear (I think)

You do not need 4-way climate control to get rear seat heating, part of an option package..

Ah ok.
Are the rear seats as hot as the front? It's like sitting on a volcano when set to - - -

Have not sat in the rear myself with them heated, but passengers seem comfy. The fronts are infernos and need to be lowered after just a ew minutes.
