DIY: Heated Seats

Alright anyone that's wanted heated seats in their Boxster might want to follow my latest project... new videos will be added to the playlist as I tackle this over the next week or so:

Looking forward to your approach.
I am planing on updating some seat parts to cocoa, so I will try to go as OEM as possible.

TTG not to side track your videos ( nice job ) but I think I saw you yesterday . Were you in your Boxster around 10:30 AM at the traffic light in front of the Cracker Barrel restaurant ? I was delivering my mother in law to her daughters house just around the corner from that light . I am 99 % sure it was you

If you are talking about Union Cross it’s possible! I only went one place yesterday... to that CVS to get a COVID test. And only so I can get on set with a negative test next week. Shooting my first feature film!

Nice. I have an aftermarket seat heater kit and have been wanting to use the factory buttons for it. I am interested to see what you come up with.

I have circuit boards all done & ready if anyone wants a set for these. Have 2 versions. 1 where you solder your own relays and another where you just plug them in. Set of 2 & will come with boxes to put them in. I can also provide the wire from the fuse panel to each seat with the correct end on it to mount right into the fuse box.

I have enough boards for at least 20 sets right now. Can be used with aftermarket set heats or factory seats using the factory seat heater switches.
