As far as i am aware you can add it to any model, a must for the winter... !!!

Don't get them... just move to Houston, Texas and you'll have super-heated seats 11 months out of the year! :)

I may be mistaken, but I think you have to buy new seats with the heating elements built into them, plus all the wiring to get it installed and switched. $$$$$

Recaro has heated seats but be prepared to spend $1200.00 per seat, if you op for the leather seat with full power. I think the seats are probably better than the standard seat that Porsche offers.

Are you sure the heated seats in Houston aren't just fermenting mold?

In Scottsdale, Az I loved my heated seats for those cool 75 degree winter evening drives. I had the seat heaters on high all the way home from New York City tonight.

If you've ever had to turn on the heater, then you have a use for heated seats. I had heated seats in one of my previous cars and loved it. Unfortunately, I don't have them on my Box. :(

One option would be to find someone who is willing to trade thier heated seats for track seats. Event a top of the line pair of GT3 seats is about half that price. I'd trade my stock seats for a pair, but it would probably cause pain to my loving wife. :ah:

Found a place that sells heated seat elements.

http://www.sportsimportsltd.com/seatheatac.html


They also have oem GM elements (which I suppose you can buy from your local dealer). I don't know about the aftermarket elements but the heated seats in a GMC Denali (Yukon) were the best I've ever used (especially after a long day of snowboarding ;)).

Seems like an easy hack. Anybody wanna try and let me know how it works? :D
