Heated Seat mod?

There was someone that installed leather and heated seats I will see if I can find the post.

 

Do a search on "heated seats" there is a full run down on fitting in an 08 Prius.

Cold seats are not often a major issue here in coastal NC, but I think if it were and I was thinking about this I would have to consider replacing the whole seat. There so many better ones out there, probably most of them, and many already are setup for heat. I love this car, but the seats, not so much. Of course there is a big cost difference, I suspect, between adding this heat setup and replacing the seats.

 

The major problem with replacing the seats is with the side air bags not being designed for the car you are fitting them to.

 

I normally like to do my own work, but this job sounds tedious and for the sort of money quoted would go with the local shop. Coward ar'nt I?

 

What was the decision? If you made one, are you happy with it? How's it working for you?

 

The Clazzio and Katskin covers are designed for seat-mounted air bags.

One could easily slip seat warmers between the factory seat fabric and Clazzio covers. Much less of a hassle than installing the seat warmers under the factory fabric.

 

i have to laugh every time i replace a seat cover on a benz cause the seat heater shocked or burned a customer's @$$...

 

In his post Steve was talking about replacing the seats completely, that's why I mentioned the air bags. I know the seat covers allow for the side airbags.
