    Has anyone upgraded the heated seat switch to either the hi/lo or the rheostat style? In contemplating this upgrade I also wanted to relocate the switch(s) to the flying bridge and or dash panel to make the easier to access and operate. I would appreciate any experiences any of you have had and your preferences.
    Thanks...

    That would probably be best done where the wire enters the seat. Whatever you decide the rheostat is going to generate a lot of heat.

    Thanks for the link but I have followed them and none are doing or have done what I propose. I like your list of mods and from the sounds of things I need to vista the JDM store. My prior experience has been Miata and other GM lines. Appreciate any info you may see in the future.
