I have a lead on two nice heated seats for my 2002 GT sedan...I bought this for my fiance' as a surprise (have not given to her yet---it is gorgeous and she will flip...probably cry!)

She is originally from costa rica and her tolerance to cold is well...low

These seats would really add to the car

 

My question:

I see an unattached pigtail under the seat (my car does NOT have heated seats)

Is my car wired to accept heated seats??

I can get 2 seats and the switches for $175

 

Got my fingers crossed......

Look under your seats under the carpet. If the car is equipped to take heated seate the plug will be there. you may have to take out your seats and lift the carpet to find the plug and wire. I have seen them tucked under the carpet just behind the little bump up at the front of the floor pan. By that, I mean the little bump up just under the front of the seat. It keeps crap from sliding from the rear to the front floor boards.

 

You can also check the console. Lift the covers and see if you have the plugs for the switches. I f you do, then you have the wiring for the seats.

 

Good Luck and I'm sure your betrothed will love the car.

i added heated seats to a 97 gt and my 97 outback came that way. but my 96 leg donor car didn't have the wiring, i don't think.

 

my conclusion, if heated seats were an option for your car, then the wiring is there. you just need the seats and the switches. i'm not familiar with the '02 interior, i know the seats will swap, but i don't know if the switches on the console are the same. probably are.

 

before you throw away the old seats, make sure your seat belts connect to the new seat belt clip. they changed them between 96 - 97 so double check to make sure they didn't change them again. they are easy to swap.

 

as mike said look for the wiring, i'd remove the 2 screws that hold down the center console cover around the hand brake and look for unused connectors. one of mine was blue, the other tan maybe. the wires under the seats are harder to find, no sense going to that trouble, if the other end isn't there.

 

what year is your car?
