Free Heated Seats
Posted by Allan T. Chou on Sunday, 25 October 1998, at 8:48 p.m.
I paid the $400.00 for my heated seats, but found later that all Boxsters come with them whether ordered or not. Apparently, the heating element is built in on all boxster seats from the factory. Thaerefore, with two switches and wiring, you can have heated seats for under $100.00. I'm not sure, but I would think the wiring is hidden under the carpeting. Would be a great hack should someone with a non ordered heated seat car go through the drill. If any one in the Northern New Jersey Area would like to try it I would be happy to trace my wiring to compare. Allan

I'm thinking that this could be true since the couple of heating elements that would be in a seat should cost Porsche like $10. And for that small amount of money, I wouldn't think they would want to keep 2 sets of inventory and manage two different seats for each colour they have.
Does anyone know if this is true and had tried this hack? I live in the great White North and this would be very useful now.
